The Kindle Charger Is A Handy Little Device

By Carol Ho


If you are reading this article and have yet to purchase a Kindle or Kindle Fire, it is best that you buy a kindle charger with your purchase to save yourself $10. If you don't think you'll need one, you will. Then you will have to pay $20 bucks for it instead of $10.

This charger should only be used with the e-reading devices and not with the Kindle Fire devices. You can use this charger anywhere in the USA and overseas (100-240V). Be sure to pack an adapter with you when you travel outside of the USA or you may not be able to use your e-reader.

If you don't want to spend the extra money on a charger, you can charge it using your PC or laptop with the USB cable that comes with the e-reader.

You are not limited to charging your e-reader with this charger. You can charge your MP3 player and Smartphones with it. You can also use the USB cable from your other mobile devices to charge the Kindle.

I know for a fact that the USB cable from a Blackberry can charge a Kindle because I have done it myself.

I decided to get this charger for myself because I do a lot of traveling. When it arrived, it was wrapped nicely in packaging that was easy to open. I love the sleek design of the charger with the Amazon logo on it.

If you decide to purchase a Kindle and then upgrade later, you don't need to spring for another charger. Not only is this charger small and compact and easy to pack away; but it fits into one slot in a surge protector.

I also have a Kindle Fire HD 7" and the charger. While I am on the subject, I will share my experience using this charger. As soon as I got it in the mail, I knew this charger was also made of high quality and would last for years to come.

Unlike the charger for the Kindle, this charger can power-up the Kindle Fire models and the e-readers.

I also used it to charge my Bluetooth headset, Blackberry Smartphone, and iPad. It is 9W, 1.8amp that charges within an hour. It is small and compact which makes it easy for travel and storage. Also when not in use, the prongs fold up.

Having to purchase this separately from the Kindle is the only thing I don't like about this charger but since it is so universal, I am getting what I paid for it and more.

Just like the Kindle charger, you will need an adapter plug to use it out of the United States. Don't waste your money buying another one if you already have one.

Make sure that your adapter is compatible with whatever country you are traveling to because some adapters are country specific.

If you have to pay $20 for the charger, it is still worth the money. It charges more than just your e-reader and Kindle Fire. Plus, it charges your devices really quickly within an hour.
