Title: Purchase the Warranty
Product review: I've been a very happy Kindle 2 user for a little over a year (which means I paid the original $349 price). That changed this weekend when it went on the fritz and started randomly typing searches in the middle of reading-eventually rendering it unusable unless you like to read a page at a time. It was like it was possessed. Research online shows that this is not an uncommon problem and is caused by a hardware issue. Unfortunately my device is out of warranty. I was surprised to find out that Amazon has not invested in a service center for Kindle so instead of being able to send for repair the only options are to shell out $90 for a refurbished kindle (with only a 90 day warranty) or replace it completely for $190 and add an extra $65 for the 2 year warranty. Clearly they are not making these products to last so definitely purchase an extended warranty.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
