Start Date: Warranty lasts two years from Kindle ship date. Your warranty plan begins on the date your Kindle shipped (or when your Kindle ships for pre-ordered devices) and is inclusive of the manufacturer warranty period. Manufacturer's warranty and SquareTrade warranty overlap = first year covered by Amazon (manufacturer) and SquareTrade, second year covered by SquareTrade.

Only if it breaks during the second year of ownership. It's really a personal choice. I purchased the warranty based on reviews of the original Paper White. I probably won't ever use the warranty, I don't usually purchase them, and never have had need of one.p.s.: I really like the Kindle much better than I expected!!!!! It's my first and I think it is fantastic!

Every tablet or any electronic device for that matter should come with a basic manufacturer warranty that covers defects with the hardware, etc. SquareTrade is additional coverage that covers accidents like drops or if you spill something on it. I think you can purchase SquareTrade's coverage within 30 days of purchasing your tablet. I'm not 100% sure though. Hope this helps, Gen!

I am almost positive that you can do that. You might need the serial number of the Kindle or you might need to fax them a copy of the receipt. The phone number for Square Trade is 1-877-WARRANTY; 1-877-927-7268. Call and ask them the procedure. You may be able to purchase it at this phone number. They are easy to talk to and regularly helpful.

Now that's a hard one. Personally, if it's $249.99 I would go with the $250-$300, but since technically it still falls beneath $250 by a penny then you may have to go with the $200-250. If push comes to shove, try calling SquareTrade to get their opinion since you're getting it with them. If something happens to your tablet, they reimburse you the tax as well, so if it goes over $250 then you can go with the $250-300. Again, call to make sure since my tablet was within the $0-100. Didn't see the price range when I made the review until long after hitting submit.

I used the warranty on my Kindle Fire. Same company and they replaced my Fire the very next day. When I filed the second claim they didnt have the same item in stock. So I got the new HD Fire for about $100 when they were going for close $500 at the time. They gave me my entire price for the old Kindle and a discount on the new one. Have not filed a claim on the bed. It is doing great. But, they offer these insurance policies on all types of things, tvs, computers, furniture etc.

Good question Henry. I don't know how long after you get your Kindle that you can by the SquareTrade warranty. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Get the SquareTrade 2-Year Electronics Accident Protection Plan. It should cover them.

Yes, as M. Russell mentioned, Squaretrade is one of several available 3rd party protection plans. At the moment, you can purchase this tablet for $99.99, and Squaretrade offers a protection plan for $15 on tablets costing under $100. Their protection plan claims to cover all manufacturing defects, wear and tear issues, and accidents (including drops and fluid spills) for up to 2 years from the date of purchase. Just note that in order to get the protection, you have to sign up for the protection plan within so many days of purchasing the tablet. You can't wait 6 months, have an accident with it, and suddenly decide to get a protection plan. Yes, as M. Russell mentioned, Squaretrade is one of several available 3rd party protection plans.

I think I have two answers for you. When it happened to me I got a "new" Kindle. But I always thought that it was refurbished, it went down in less than two years. I was told then that the practice would be to give me a new one for one of less value, by one step.

I bought this warranty on a new laptop. I would suggest either calling or emailing Squaretrade with your question on coverage for a used laptop coverage. Janet

Tania:I don't think so. One device, one warranty is my understanding.I always buy the warranty as I have had to return 5 of the 15 devices I've purchased.Suggest you call Kindle Support at their on-line number.Chuck Sankey, Ed.D.Hutchinson, KS

I am wondering this myself. I was on a lengthy chat with Amazon and the rep said the regular squaretrade tablet warranty doesn't cover the kindle. Which i find odd since people review that it does. One big difference I noticed is that the two year warranty tied to the kindle handles claims differently than the regular squaretrade warranty. It appears that this warranty mails you a new kindle right away. With the regular warranty, the turn around time is roughly 5-7 days.

THE ANSWER: I figured it out myself.It's easy and no big deal. Buy the kindle wherever, charge it, boot it up, set it up and link it to your Amazon account, THEN buy square trade. It will connect to the newly registered matching product automatically. For those saying to call Amazon or Square Trade, I already had, and hadn't gotten any useful information. Nobody knew. I DID discover that the protection on the ST website is more expensive and doesn't cover accidents at all. Through the St*ples website, where I got the kindle, it was also much more expensive and had less comprehensive coverage. Amazon definitely has the best deal with ST, which is why I went to the effort to purchase here. THE ANSWER: I figured it out myself.It's easy and no big deal.

First of all, enjoy your new toy. I purchased my Kindle and warranty at the same time. My warranty took effect on the day the kindle was shipped to me...one month later!

No, this warranty begins immediately upon shipment of the Kindle and counts two years from that date. During the time that your Kindle is covered under the standard manufacturer's warranty this policy supplements things that are not covered, such as cracked screens, spills, drops, etc. When the one year standard manufacturer's warranty is finished, you will have one full year of coverage remaining under this 2-Year Protection Plan.
