ok - i predict that Amazon are booting the 3rd party insurance sellers off of their site because they have a secret project to launch their own plans soon ( and that most of their staff are unaware )
Amazon are big enough to basically self insure and take a big slice of the consumer goods extended warranties market - which is still pretty inefficient and overpriced ( that's what i recall the last govt look see concluding http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/24447578) * [ with the notable exception of richer sounds supercover which is amazingly good value and always has been - 10% Of purchase prices gets you 5 years no quible and you could even trade in the policy towards new stuff if ytou never used it ] Showing the most relevant results. See all results for extended warranty. Product Details 3-Year Kindle Paperwhite Protection Plan with Accident & Theft Cover, UK customers only by Canopy Currently unavailable |

Interesting discovery, and I think your theory is very likely true!

Sorry it's a very old credit card. HSBC Platinum, its hubbys. Free extra two year warranty on up to six items per year, except anything Apple, or tablets. Accidental damage coverage is from registration for three years, the two years coverage follows the manufacturers period, so for 1 year we get three years. They've always included ereaders. I've covered Kobo's as well as Kindles. Never had to call on it though

got this back from John Lweis today -0 much better news
its looking like a Kobo christmas "Thank you for your email. I can confirm that accidental damage does cover the screen. ..., I can confirm we here at Added Care do not use Kobo, all repairs are carried out by our private engineers." Last edited by stumped; 11-15-2017 at 08:36 AM. |

Still in the US Store
In case it wasn't mentioned elsewhere, it is still in the US and China stores. Sorry it doesn't help you but I am glad it isn't missing due to some premeditated quality concerns.
Aluminum is not only cooler to the touch and lacking grip but it also transmits vibration more than plastic. I have 3 weeks left to buy...glad I am not the only one concerned! |
