Review: A Must Have with any Kindle Device

I purchased a square trade program back in June of 2012 for my original Kindle Fire. I didn't have the chance to use it until this past December, so I never felt informed enough to write a review for the product.  When need to use the protection program arose, the entire transaction was unbelievably easy!  My device died on the Sunday before Christmas; I spent less than ten minutes of the phone with SquareTrade, and two days later I received a replacement device...on Christmas Eve!  Unfortunately, I only bought the protection plan for my original Kindle Fire, not for the several other devices we own.  I was never more sorry than when my son dropped his device and the screen cracked.  The device works, but we're stuck with the broken screen.  After the wonderful experience with SquareTrade back in December, I decided then and there that I will never again be without a SquareTrade Protection Plan!We just purchased a new Kindle Fire HD for our son.  He just turned 4, so I was sure to purchase this protection plan for his device (he did crack the screen of his first device after all.)  Delivery of the plan is super easy, via email and it is automatically applied on your account to the device with which it is purchased, so once you make the purchase you don't need to do anything else.  But even if you purchase the plan separate from the device--which I did with the plan for my HDX--when you go into the "Manage Your Device" website you will get a message asking if you would like to apply the plan to the particular device on your account that matches the plan criteria.  FYI, when I spoke with SquareTrade customer service back in December, the rep told me that the various protection plans, offered here on Amazon, may appear to be sold by different companies, but they are all the same SquareTrade. Just look for their logo. I highly recommend this protection plan. I will never be without it again!!!
