Kindle DX Warranty

[LauraB]

Ok, but if you use the squaretrade kindle warranty for an accidental drop you have to pay $50.  So then your at $108.49.  Same price. I, personally, don't care about the 3rd year, because as fast as they are getting new types of kindles out, I don't see me having it 3 years. And I called squaretrade, and the rep didn't know if it covered battery changes.  The one through Amazon does. He (squaretrade) said it "might" under the electrical, but then the battery is considered as a piece that should ware out, so it might not be covered. He was supposed to call me back, but didn't. Not sure I'm feeling the warmth of a CS like that. So, if I don't hear back soon, I'm getting the one on Amazon.

Well you should definitely go whichever route fits your needs

 Of course, we all should  .  I was just thinking out loud about which I wanted.

I'm trying to figure out how you get to $108 with squaretrade.  I ordered last night with "accidential damage" coverage and my bill was a little over $50.

I was saying if you drop it/ damage it they have a $50 deductible added. You don't have to pay it for normal warranty but the damage part you do. That's why I said if you drop it the cost goes up to $108. Does that make sense?  I don't plan on dropping mine, of course, but I factored in that cost in my headbecause, well, if imbuying the accidential policy I'll have to pay the deductable if I have to use the policy for that.

Yes, it does make sense. 

  Also, if the battery goes during the 2nd year, Amazon definitely covers it and you know you get instant replacements there, well, within a few days.   That's $59.  With Squaretrade, I am reading different reps give different responses on that.  This one today says they're not sure but it should be covered under electronics but on the other hand it might be wear and tear, so I'm more likely to go w/the Amazon warranty.

  I looked at my bank statements today and saw a purchase for something but couldn't remember what it was (this page had no vendor name on it) and then I remembered.  Feb. 26.  And then realized it was just 3 months I've had it as something I deliberated over after loving the K1 for 7 months.  And so in less than a year I have bought 2 Kindles and now it may be a THIRD Kindle in 10 months.

  What's wrong with this picture? 

  But I'll probably do it anyway.  I just happen to like the Kindle and any new capabilities.  I can always sell the Kindle 1.  Then I think of what all I could fit on to a big SD card.  And then I think of how long it would take to index it  :-)

  :-)  So I will likely sell it with cover after I get the DX, once I decide for sure.  http://kindlezen.com has a terrific article on the pdf probs that Amazon should fix asap with the firmware or better licensing.

Makes sense to me
