No - it is a certainty. Unless Kobo has designed a super-Li-Ion pack that defies all knows laws of physics and electrical theory, I expect my pack to last about 500 discharge-charge cycles. And I expect that to occur within a three year period. And SquareTrade has told me that the unit will either be repaired or replaced in case of NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BATTERY FAILURE - NO DEDUCTIBLE.
In addition, I am also covered for accidental drops and water/moisture damage.
I know all about the extended warranty biz. Many are, indeed, rip-offs. But there's no "gamble" involved on this one for me.
