Looking very stylish and extremely compact, Amazon really got it right with the new Kindle 2 charger.

It's iPhone looking design will really leave you in awe. Speaking of iPhone, the tiny power adapter works great to charge an iPhone or iPod. This is a great bonus feature for us Apple enthusiasts. One less device to carry. Just plug your Apple cable into this and charge away. I tried it with my iPhone 3G and iPod and it worked great.

Easy to carry, works in the USA or overseas ( with a plug adapter, sold separately )

The included USB cable is also high quality and well made. The price for both is also very good.

It is an excellent idea to purchase one of these to have as an extra just in case you loose your original set or to charge at another location in your home or office.

It can also be used to charge other devices that use a USB type charger, although I have only tested it so far with an Apple iPhone 3G and iPod.

Very highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disintegration of insulation on Kindle power cord, December 4, 2010

After approximately one year of use, the insulation on my Kindle power cord is cracking and disintegrating. I have had to repair it with electrical tape twice within the last week. The insulation doesn't just crack--it also falls off in half-inch segments. Last night, I had the repaired power cord plugged into the wall, and this morning a finger-width section had disintegrated, leaving a bare wire that I luckily saw in time. My Kindle is wonderful, but its power cord is dangerous.
