Generic USB charger, USB cable not included,
This exact power adapter comes standard with what Amazon calls now the
'Kindle Keyboard' models (Kindle 3) but NOT with the Kindle Touch and
the least expensive model ($79 no touch) now known as plain 'Kindle'. It
can be used just about anywhere in the world (100-240V) for as long as
you have the proper plug adapter.
To charge a Kindle you will need a generic USB Type A/Micro B cable and one is supplied with every
Kindle purchased and you can do it in several different ways:
To charge a Kindle you will need a generic USB Type A/Micro B cable and one is supplied with every
Kindle purchased and you can do it in several different ways:
- Off a laptop or PC through one of their 'powered' USB ports (you will need a laptop or a PC)
- With this adapter which comes with all Kindle 3s or can be purchased separately (you will need the Amazon-supplied or any generic USB cable)
- With a third-party, branded or generic USB charger (search Amazon for either 'kindle charger' or 'usb charger')
This
specific charger works for all 3d and 4th generation Kindles and is
also great for charging lots of other gadgets that get charged through
an USB port. I'm using it to charge my Blackberry Torch, a couple of
other phones and the kids charge their MP3 players. And the reverse is
also true: most other USB chargers will work with your Kindle. One good
example is the Blackberry's.
Amazon's charger may cost a couple of dollars more than a generic but it comes with Amazon's logo and some peace of mind. For anyone going 'generic', here are the Amazon adapter's specs:
INPUT (AC): 100-240V, 50/60Hz
OUTPUT (DC): 4.9V, 0.85A
Prices fluctuate so I'm not going to discuss 'price' but it's always a good idea to search Amazon for alternatives before placing an order. review By A. Dent
