3.0 out of 5 stars Amazon Kindle Au Adapter, September 25, 2010

The adapter does what it was designed to do, but I question why there was a need to include the USB cable with it, as one is already supplied with the Kindle. This item could have been supplied a bit cheaper. In addition this, bearing in mind I'm in Australia, I have since found that I could have purchased just the plug without the cable, locally, and a lot cheaper.

I bought the product because it showed as US$4.99 when I processed the purchase but I was finally charged US$19.99. Not worth the money as you can get a suitable adapter from JB HiFi or similar for AUS$9.95. The unit comes with a cable that you can use with a universal adapter.

It certainly does all that is needed. Not sure why: 1. it wasn't offered when I bought my Kindle - just a couple of months ago and 2. why it comes with the USB connector cord which is the same as the cord that came with my Kindle. But there you go! Certainly makes my Kindle more useful as I can now charge it up from a power point!
