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

I have been very happy with my Kindle and the USB cable was working fine for the first 5 months. However, about 3-4 months ago, I found cracks in the plastic coating that covered the braided cable. I taped it up and continued to use it but I was troubled that something as basic as the cable could crack so quickly. Today, the cable is shedding plastic all over and is not only frustrating but makes me wonder about safety issues each time I use it. Ive never had this experience with any other cable so Im quite unhappy. Hopefully the replacement cable is not going to give me the same trouble in a few months time.

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 misplaced my powercord to my Kindle and was facing not having it for several weeks. I ordered online and received it the NEXT day! I am very impressed with the quick delivery and Amazons ability to keep feeding my addiction to the amazing Kindle.

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.

This product does exactly what is is supposed to without having to break the bank! I can now charge my Kindle 4 quickly when Im on the road in a motel, without having to drag along my laptop, or without having to park out by the motel computer.

The item is a good solid power cord that allows for computer sharing as well as ppower source from outlet. The cord was lost in transit, probably due to issues in New York, but the seller immediately sent a new one when I contacted him. He was very quick to respond to the contact and even though the shipping delay was not his fault, he sent a new cord out immediately and reduced th shipping costs for both. I couldnt be more impressed with that effort! I would not hesitate to purchase anything from this seller at any time.

Was dissappointed that it had to come from China, but it works just fine. Got it faster from China than I would have the USA.

Electricity flows through it. It has an external color. I havent lost it in a hotel room yet.

My original charger for my Kindle just stopped charging one day. Being an avid reader I was super freaked out thinking at first there was something wrong with my Kindle but then quickly realized it was just the charger...Whew!!! Nothing much to review here as it is a simple Kindle charger just like the original charger you recieve with you Kindle device. Shipping was fast, but being that I use my Kindle daily, remember avid reader :-) I paid extra for expedited shipping so I cant review normal shipping timeframe. It does its job and would recommend if you need to replace you charger or simply want a extra charger. I am now a happy, happy, happy Kindle reader again with a fully charged Kindle. Yay!!!

Even though this was purchased as a used device, when it arrived, it looked brand new, and my wife was delighted that she no longer had to plug her Kindle into her computer to charge.
