How many of you purchased an extended warranty for your Kindles???
I normally do not, but am worried about dropping, spilling, etc.
Thanks!

I did. I've already broken 1 Kindle, so it was a no-brainer for me to get the warranty for this one.
I highly recommend getting your warranty through SquareTrade.com. It's less expensive, and is 3 years instead of 2. If you buy a new Kindle (as opposed to a refurbished one) you can get accidental damage for very little. Their customer service and claim handling is awesome.

Normally I wouldn't buy an extended warranty for any gadget, but for the Kindle 2 I did. Knowing my luck, I'd do a good job of breaking it if I didn't get the warranty, and now that I have it it'll be fine. lol
But, I do feel much better, knowing that I have protection against accidental damage for the next two years, considering how much the Kindle 2 is.

I definitely did. I am pretty clumsy as it is plus with little ones around I just thought it would be best. I really can't afford to just replace it on my own if it gets dropped or something spilled on it.

I just ordered my K2 from amazon and I am looking into a Square Trade warranty right away with the ADH coverage. One problem, when I try to enter the contact info it doesn't let me pick my state!!!! (WI).... HELP!
Okay I called Square Trade and they said currently they are not offering coverage in WI. And I need to check the website for when they offer it again as they are working out guidelines with the state. Cross your fingers that it's within the timeframe I can receive coverage!!!!!!!!!!!!

well California is good for the ADC and thanks for the holiday discount code! Much cheaper than getting it from Amazon, and don't have to worry whether or not my VISA debit card would have gotten me additional warranty extension/protection. with the two cats, I need peace of mind!!!   of course the M-Edge latitude zippered cover doesn't hurt either |

I thought I remembered a poll on this topic. I found it and replied to it. That thread was on the Amazon Warranty. While we did not buy an extended warranty for either my K2 or DH's DX, if we had it would have been the one from Square Trade. |

This may be a stupid question, but can you purchase additional warranty when the current one is running out?

Just picked up the Squaretrade warranty also with the accidental damage added. The code "WARRANTYSANTA" worked perfectly and gave me $16.50 off the warranty price basically making the accidental damage free.
When I checked out they gave me the code "TWTYOFF" maybe that might help someone out.

Did you try the WARRANTYSANTA code? I just went to their website and entered the Warrantysanta code without entering any of my personal information and it worked. Try again Ferne. Les |
