Just curious.
Lots of manufacturers do.
Like Sony. All you have to do is to purchase an "Accidental damage warranty". It works basically like an insurance.
If you purchase Sony Reader Pocket Edition for $199 you can purchase

I am pretty sure this "warranty" is done by a third party and PocketBook might consider doing something like that.
I think we have been discussing something like this before.

Please note, that in USA you usually get a few weeks warranty, not like here in Europe where we get standard 24 months warranty (and very strong consumer protection laws) AND ALSO significantly higher prices ;-)
