Amazon Kindle US (Type A, United States) Power Adapter [Fits Kindle and Kindle DX]

Fits my telephone too. I now have two charging cords like this so I can take one with me when travel.

UPDATE: After reviewing other reviews, and after purchase, I contacted customer support online and requested a refund due to a defective product. Within 12 hours, I received a response indicating that they have provided a full refund on my purchase and 1 day shipping for my product. I will still receive it tomorrow. Excellent customer service and turnaround time. However, Amazon still needs to address the quality issues with the adapter product. ___________________________________________________________________ Original Review: After a few months of use, the charger became loose when plugged into the Kindle. I originally thought that maybe the Kindle opening for the charger was defective, or became defective over a period of time, causing the charger to not fit. As long as I wriggled the charger and set it very carefully after getting the yellow light, I could get a charge. After a time, using the charger plugged into the wall stopped working completely. I had to get a replacement Kindle, and thought that I would finally be able to charge successfully, based upon my original thought that the Kindle opening was defective. However, after receiving the replacement Kindle, the charging issue got worse. I realized then that the issue was the actual charger itself; not the Kindle. So, here I am, ordering a new charger. Therefore, the issue actually started a few months after the purchase of my Kindle; not a year after my purchase of the Kindle. I would like for Amazon to address this issue. It appears that there are many problems with the charger; not just the fact that the charger becomes loose and capricious in its charging ability. I do not want to have to buy a new charger every three months, because I live in Mexico, and only come to the states every now and again.

I was afraid it would not be similar to the product that came with my Kindle, but in fact it was the exact same item of course just not the one I lost. I am very happy with the product.

This is a little late (got my Kindle a year ago for my birthday), but I just came across this e-mail when checking other orders. I purchased this replacement because I thought I had lost my original (I found it later). I am very glad I purchased a spare. Both work perfectly, I carry one (along with my Kindle, of course) everywhere I go. I have had no trouble with them. They both perform exactly as described in your product information. Its great having one at my reading chair and one in my pocket.

While the power cord is necessary, it is not designed to handle the accidential dropping of the kindle. I have had to replace the power cord Three times due to accidently dropping the kindle and the cord getting pulled out of the kindle. The Kindle itself was not damaged but the cord would not work afterwards. For the price you pay for the cord, it should be more durable

We have two Kindles, and we love them! Both of the power cords after 6 months of service began to have a sticky feeling to the plastic coating on the wire portion of the cord, a month or so later the plastic coating started to flake off exposing the bare wire below. This was clearly a safety hazard. I called Amazon and they IMMEDIATELY replace the two cords, at no cost to me! In my view, this is just another example of Amazons great customer service! I never worry about anything I buy from amazon because they make purchasing and returning merchandise so easy.

My charger fell into a black hole somewhere,or was borrowed by some Kindle person in my family - so instead of having a knock down drag out inquisition to assess blame, I just ordered a new set-up. Arrived in three days, and works like a charm. No muss, no fuss, family relationships intact!

As a former battery engineer, I can tell you this product has a design flaw. The insulation being used is some type of plastic that becomes brittle and crumbly over time. The PROPER insulation that should have been used is SILICONE. Amazon, you probably farmed this out to some offshore supplier who gave you a very cheap price. Unfortunately you got a lousy product. Do the right thing and offer an exchange for a newly designed cable with high quality silicone insulation. Otherwise I would expect some law firm to start a class-action lawsuit.

it works beautifully finally able to use my kindle again- saved my life during hurricane Sandy by letting me read while we had no tv

Perfect! Excellent replacement power adapter. It works as well as the first one that came with the Kindle and now I have an extra power adapter. It works well with my 2nd generation Kindle. If you need to replace your cord, this is the perfect replacement.
