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

This was a good buy. My Mom had lost her charger for her kindle and a replacement was expensive. buying this one gave her good service at a good price

It is a shame that one has to purchase both pieces when you only need the power plug. Sell the plug by itself!

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.

You can not beat the price. The adapter is fantastic because it gives you the choice to plug into a wall or into a computer. I received the item much quicker than I expected. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

While it was not the original kindle charger from Amazon the charger works perfectly with my kindle. I am quite happy with this purchase.

The power cord is nice, however I just bought the Kindle in Dec, and had to replace it 6 months later. For such an expensive item the cord should last longer.

I love my Kindle and wouldnt use any other reader, however the USB cable with the 110 Volt adapter is below par in material. The coating on the cable is not the same as used on standard USB cables, for some reason they used a coating that is stiffer and in my case has started to crumble and fall off leaving the metal sheath bare at both ends. The cable is still usable but the poor quality of this part is unacceptable. I keep the cable in the neopreme case that I store the Kindle in so the cable is not exposed to sunlight or other hazards that might cause the plastic coating to fail. The replacement part that I bought is also made with the same poor quality sheathing, maybe by the time I have to buy another USB power cable they will switch to the sheathing used on standard USB cables, which I leave out and has lasted over eight years with no hint of failure of the cable coating.

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.

I love my Kindle. Nevertheless, I was very diappointed that I had to replace the adapter after such a short time. The adapter cable that came with the Kindle fell appart. Not just at one end but the entire length of the wire covering. I had not used it in any way that would cause this disintergration. The power adaptor was on my desk top, not in the sun, or exposed to chemicals or water. I hope that the replacement (which looks just the same) will last longer than the original. Thankfully, the replacement was easy to purchase, not very expensive, and came very quickly. Again, I love my Kindle and carry it with me everywhere.

Theres no good reason why such adapters are proprietary. They should be universal. What a waste of money (mine), energy (for shipping the product), and resources (the material to make precisely this unique thing). I shudder to think about the cost to our planet in terms of waste. Come up with a universal adapter, share the specs openly, let the market compete, and put this kind of thing in my pocket for $1 or less. And let me own one or a small number for all the devices my busy family uses.
