Product Description

From the Manufacturer

2 Years of Accident Coverage for your Kindle

The vast majority of Kindle failures occur because of accidents. With the 2-Year Warranty + Accident Protection for Kindle, you are protected starting from day one if breaks occur because of an accident, for example:

• Your child knocks it off a table
• The dog chews it
• You drop it in water
• It gets stepped on

In addition to accidents, the 2-Year Warranty also covers you from all electrical and mechanical breakdown for an extra 1 year after the standard one year manufacturer warranty ends. This includes battery replacement if the maximum charge falls below one-half of the original potential.

Your 2-Year Warranty Coverage Includes:

• 3 replacements over the 2 year term, with no deductibles or fees
• Hassle-Free 2-day shipping both ways

Cancel Anytime: Within 90 days you may cancel for a full refund if you haven't claimed on your warranty. After that, you are reimbursed the unused part of your warranty - e.g., if you cancel your 2-year warranty after 12 months with no claims, you'll get 50% of your money back.

Other Things You Should Know

• Upon purchase, you will get an email. This is your official confirmation of a purchase. A welcome kit will also be sent via mail (for pre-orders, we will send the Welcome Kit after your Kindle ships). So as to offer an efficient customer experience, SquareTrade may also contact you about your purchase by telephone.
• Please read the terms and conditions from the link at the top of the page. There is also a link to an easy to understand Service Agreement Summary.

For pre-ordered products or items that are delivered late, call SquareTrade to extend your warranty plan to the actual shipping date. If you have an issue and are covered by the manufacturer at that time, you'll be directed to the manufacturer first.

5.0 out of 5 stars square trade kindle warranty November 14, 2011

wow. I usually don't write reviews because I'm indifferent, but I can't stay quiet after that. My Kindle got smashed in an earthquake and I put off calling in the claim because I dreaded haggling with someone I can't understand and making them do what the warranty said they would. I worried for nothing. They were kind, didn't argue with me, and I was on the phone for less than 10 minutes. Best of all, I will have a replacement Kindle in 2 days. 2 DAYS!!!! No haggling, no misunderstanding, no long explanations. They just said they were sorry it happened and they are sending me a new one! I will always use squaretrade for my future warranties, and I suggest everyone else does too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding service of Square Trade Insurance & Amazon November 4, 2011

By Terry Bates

When my husband damaged his kindle by dropping it on the floor when he fell asleep, we ordered a new kindle to replace it not knowing how long it would take to get the damaged kindle fixed or replaced. We were going to be leaving on a trip in three days and wanted to take it with us. We ordered a 2 day delivery on the new kindle. To our surprise, when we spoke to Square Trade, they offered quick delivery. The replacement kindle arrived in the morning before we left and the new kindle arrived in the afternoon of the same day. We were very pleased with both Square Trade and Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Warranty November 21, 2011

By Jamie M. Johnson

Format:Accessory|Amazon Verified Purchase

This past summer I bought a Dell Laptop and considered getting an accidental damage warranty for it at additional cost until I read that A) it didn't cover water damage(no spill protection) B) it didn't cover if damage was incurred while the computer was being moved from place to place(um hello-it's a laptop it moves from place to place which is why an "accidental drop" might occur, and C) it didn't cover acts of God-such as lightening strikes. To me, these are the three most common accidents that could possibly happen to a portable electronic device and thus the point of getting an accidental damage warranty. It kind of defeats the purpose and instead seems to be a complete waste of money. When Amazon recommended this warranty I almost completely dismissed it but I decided to see if it was a "joke" of a warranty too. I was amazed by what I saw, not only from what was advertised but by the reviews from people who actually had to use the warranty. They cover spills and drops!!! This is was a warranty is for! Thank you for supplying what it is in demand!!!! For once I don't feel like all warranties are scams! The next electronic device I get I will purchase a warranty directly from your website.
