It has 26-gauge power wire construction, molded-strain relief construction for flexible movement, durability, and fit, gold-plated copper contacts for premium conductivity, and aluminum undermold shielding to cut cross talk and interference. Meanwhile, brand-and-foil shield protection reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Kindle cannot be charged via usb cable.

The original cable supplied with the Amazon Kindle was manufactured with totally inferior outer insulation. This cable should be better but the original cable's outer, white insulation simply disintegrated and falls off in little pieces. I've never seen a wire insulation do that before in my entire life. This has got to be a China thing. Good grief.

Then you do not have a "FIRST Generation Kindle"!
The original kindle takes this cable (The larger plug kind), while later Kindles take the smaller plug.
If you aren't sure which you are, if you do not have the silver side navigation tool, you are NOT the First Generation Kindle, and this cable will not work for you.
For those with the actual First Gen Kindle - this IS the cable that you need; the smaller cable for the newer Kindles will NOT work for you :-)

Hazardous ??
The kindle cable disintegrated. The insulation has literally crumbled off the cord and I am left with a bare wire. I have NEVER seen such poor workmanship in any product, EVER. Read more

cable looks like a pack of mice got at it!
This is the worst piece of junk ever. Amazon needs to do some serious product control here. The white
protective covering looks like mice have gotten at it. Read more

Kindle USB cable.
If your Kindle is wireless, you don't need this. Also, I believe the statement that the Kindle cannot be charged via the USB cable is misleading. Read more

hope the replacement holds up better than the original
My USB cable for my kindle has literally self-destructed. It is falling apart in little tiny pieces-leaving the cable that it insulates and protects exposed. Read more

Be careful to inspect the cable type before you buy!
This is NOT the cable you think it is! Make sure to get a closer view of what the ends of this cable look like. The differences are very subtle.

My Kindle adaptor insulation just simply disintegrated too! Looks like it has been chewed up. Why does this happen? Hope this one is better.
