I sit quietly and read. Period. Does one really need the warranty?

Something could happen anyway. Malfunctions do happen as well as mishaps. I got the warrenty because I don't want to take any chances.

Yes, I dropped my last Kindle on the tiled kitchen floor. I was reading while cooking.

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!

Our son sits and reads quietly as well, but he is still an 11yo boy and that in itself is enough to necessitate a warranty. We wish we had bought one on my first kindle. My husband didn't know I had set it down on the floor to tie a kid's shoe, and he put his knuckles down to push up off the floor. That was the end of that kindle. For $25-$30, it seems like a great investment.

Yes. I bought a Kindle Fire November 2011 and this summer I dropped it. Because of my warranty, I got a new one and all I had to do was return the old one. So for me it really worked. I suggest you get it. I am really glad I did.

Consumer groups usually say to skip extended warranties, but this one give replacement for damage for two years. If it were only for an additional year for defects it might be skipped.

My son stepped on my last Kindle and totally destroyed it. So yes. Some of us do need it.

Since I ended up returning the Kindle due to repeated lockups, I never had need to use it , and was able to get a refund. However the fact that I received notification to activate it before I even received the Kindle bothered me a little. The fact that I received repeated messages to complete the activation even after I had, leads me to believe that had I needed to use it, it would not have gone smoothly. I would not purchase it again.

I didn't have it on my last Kindle. I sat on it and cracked the screen. Now I've been saving up for two years to be able to replace it. It would have been worth the $30...

To be perfectly honest for the price I wasn't worried about the warranty. Haven't had it for long but it is working great and is very quiet.

To be honest, I have not found these to be particularly reliable, and am on my third one in a 2 year time period. If you decide to get another one, purchase a 3rd party warranty along with it. Also, make sure it is in sleep mode when you're not using it.

I'm honestly not sure. Given the low price and simplicity of the item, I wouldn't worry about a warranty.

it's new, not sure about the warranty don't want to say, although i am leaning towards yes.

It must be. Hang on to that paper, I discarded all but the manual (which you will need to set up and operate.) Mine worked fine, so did not have to worry about the warranty. These kind of things either work from the get go or send back to the vendor for another try, for the price wouldn't worry about longer term issues.

The last page of the booklet has a registration form to fill out and return. Whether it is a warranty...who knows. It does ask if the buyer purchased an additional warranty. The first one I ordered was dented on the delivery box...it was picked up within the week and a new one delivered at the same time. No extra cost. I have had mine since April 2013...seems to work fine but is a little noisy when it runs. Looks good and the cost is "fair"! Enjoy!!!!

I honestly don't recall anything about a warranty. I just know I've not had any issues with mine and it is still going strong.

I'm not sure about the warranty, so far we havn't needed to worry about it.. Sorry!

Thanks for the comeback. I just don't think you have to dig for the warranty. I think it should be plainly stated as the other ones I looked at. Thanks, I do appreciate your answer as it was helpful.

Your the only one worried about a warranty. It's too cheap to waste time worrying. Pocket change. If you want quality don't buy cheap. Buy the expensive Dell adapter if your this concerned. Mine has been working well and will out live the warranty window.

From what I can tell there is no warranty. I see nothing mentioned in the print.

I'm sure that is why there is no warranty. I bought one because my neighbor recommended it. I should have investigated it before I bought one, because it seemed too good to be true. I won't make that mistake again.

No, I don't believe so, at least nothing I found in the box to lead me to believe it was under warranty.

Hi Vijay, if you have got yourself this portable HD then congrats as you need not need to bother about the warrAnty course you will never need it. My HD is in 100% condition, never failed me once since day one with me. It follows every where I go and still works as good as new. Hope my answer helps. Cheers

Pretty sure it has the one year warranty. My strategy is to never buy extended warranties. Usually, if there's a defect, it will show up in the first year. Overall, I have been happy with this. It is not as quiet as my Lenovo, and since my office is small that made a difference. I actually hot glued 1/8 inch rubber sheeting to the side panels and foam wall by computer but I'm noise OCD. Good luck.

I've had mine for a couple weeks, listening primarily to Audible.com books. So far, it's been the best I've found (aside from an iPod) with resume (interestingly, if the sleep timer shuts off the system, when you turn it back on, you don't need to hit play: it just starts playing where it left off). I haven't tried with any books using a DRM system yet, though.
