Questions & Answers

The charger I have and the charger I have for my nook look very similar, but what are the differences?

This probably means that you were using a charger that was higher than 5W/1A, which is the lowest output you can get. It's fairly common for chargers to adapt to the device, or vice versa, but if a Kindle cannot use a higher rated charger, then it's a POS, as this adapter is worth about $3, tops, today. There are a couple of different types of generic types, but it is the most general one. Each and every cable adapter that comes with an Amazon Echo, FireTV, Kindle, or Fire Tablet is the EXACT, IDENTICAL cable. In that case, if you're going to spend $20 on one, you might as well spend the five extra. You could use the $20 off device to buy an Echo, Dot or Fire Stick and use that adapter to power your fragile Kindle, then use ANY other adapter (even the USB port on the back of your TV, for a FireTV Stick) to charge your $20 off device. I think it would be better for you to just wait for one of the 30 sales per year that Amazon has on its electronic devices, and just buy a new, better, updated Kindle for what would be an incredibly cheap price after the sale. It's not impossible that this may be THE most overpriced item on Amazon, although you'd need to look through all the Amazon Basics, in order to determine that. There is nothing but overpriced junk in their shop.

Can you tell me what the difference is between this usb and the usb plug ins I use for my ipad, ipad mini, and Samsung galaxy S4?

It is a giant difference, 5W for the iPad charger compared to 12W for the iPhone charger. There are two voltages and two currents. An iPhone has 5W, 5V, 1A, whereas the iPad does not have those specifications. A personal experience of mine involved plugging an Android phone in my iPad charger accidentally. Thus, I would be cautious about using the charger for the iPad. If you don't have a charger for the iPhone, you may use that instead.

What kind of USB cable do I need to charge my kindle?

It is true. There is only one plug in this item. The USB cable you'll need is the one that connects to your kindle and the plug

To use a Kindle, does this adapter need to be plugged in?

Unless you have a computer and an adaptor, you cannot use your android phone, and if you do, you have to use your cord. Kindle comes with the cord, so you can also use your computer but it will be slower.

It is overpriced
3/5

Although it works fine, I think it is way overpriced, especially when you consider it has no connecting cable and is $20. 00 for an item that should cost You should also include the cable when you spend over $1000. I gave it 3 stars because of this.

This product does what it says
3/5

The reason for this is not apparent to me. This product does what it says. I can't imagine why Amazon doesn't include it with the Kindle, however. The only other product I know of that does not provide an essential item for its use is not supplied by the manufacturer. With the Kindle, Amazon ought to include this. Therefore, in order to figure out the "real" price of the Kindle, add a couple of these to the price of the The reason for my rating of three stars is because of this. It's time for Amazon to stop misleading shoppers with its Kindle pricing.

I suppose it would be worth a while if it were an OEM replacement
3/5

A similar product for my Amazon Fire could be purchased at Walmart for about $3. My product is an OEM replacement, so its worth a little more, but you cannot get it at this price.

It is imperative that products are always sold with This should be available exclusively on the kindle
3/5

I'm angry about the need to purchase it separately. What a travesty that one can only recharge the kindle if one punches the charger separately. Never before has a high-end item been sold without the capability of being recharged. Amazon fails in an epic way.

It is unnecessary to include this The kindle I got my son for Christmas came with a charging cable that plugs right into them
3/5

I gave this to him along with the kindle, and he said he didn't see the need for a charger, given the same cable plugs in to the kindle. There is a possibility that this would be useful if you take long trips (the kindle battery lasts for weeks), It's not worth it to waste your money.

A 5W or 5V 1A power supply is available
3/5

What is the difference between a 19 and a 19. You'll also get a $5 Amazon gift card when you buy the Original OEM USB Charger and Power Supply. The 95 5V 1A (1000mA) USB port power supply is extremely portable and convenient. Has the product been listed by the UL? This is A A $14. 00 bill. In an effort to establish a distinction without a difference, calling it just a 5W charger instead of a 5V 1A charger would be inadequate.

A charger doesn't stay securely connected to a Paperwhite and wiggles around. The battery can only be charged if it is held at an.
