I bought this adapter to use for travel. This adapter will not charge the kindle properly. I used it and it would not charge my kinde past a 20 minute charge after it was plugged in for 24 hours. I then plugged in the original and it charged the unit to full power. It is not worth it. SPend the extra $10 and get the official version. This one is a waste of money.

This charger does NOT work. I bought two so I would have one for a spare (I paid $6 or so for it); one seems to be charging the Kindle, but I didn't try the spare one I bought until just recently when I was on a trip. It is too loose to fit properly in the kindle to recharge it -the male part is too small. It just falls out! I never thought to check out the spare to see if it worked when I bought it - I just assumed that it WOULD work (I now realize I made a mistake) I emailed the provider to ask for a replacement and their response was:

STEER CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY!

Low amperage circuit, slow to charge, cheap cable. If the cost is cheap than you getting a cheap item.

If your looking for a Wall or Car Charger for the Kindle 1 I suggest the following:
Rapid Wall / AC Charger for the Amazon Kindle 1 - Gomadic Brand w/ TipExchange Technology

Rapid Car / Auto Charger for the Amazon Kindle 1 - Gomadic Brand w/ TipExchange Technology


For the Kindle 2 I suggest:
Rapid Wall / AC Charger for the Amazon Kindle 2 - Gomadic Brand

Rapid Car / Auto Charger for the Amazon Kindle 2 - Gomadic Brand

Doesn't work. Will not fully charge a Kindle. Unfortunately, the "official" Kindle charger has been out of stock for months. Thanks Amazon, I now own a $400.00 paperweight!!!

Not only didn't it charge my Kindle, it actually discharged both my and my wife's Kindles. It is worse than horrible. It can be destructive.

Do not buy this item. It does not work!! It will power your kindle but not re-charge it. So now, because Amazon is out of stock on the original power charger, I have a Kindle that is no longer portable!!
Rather, to use my Kindle it now has to be plugged in!

I needed an AC Charger/Adapter for my Kindle 2, and ordered this item, which does not work, even though it says it does. I'm frustrated. What IS the correct Kindle 2 AC Charger/Adapter item number?

Great charger works no problems great email responses to questions I dont know what else to write so blah blah

The charger functions just like the original. There is a red light on the replacement indicating the charger is plugged in...it is not on the original and is really not necessary. The price was exeptional. However, it cost almost as much for shipping as the product, which is unexeptional.

If there was an option for no stars, that would be my choice. It did not fit into my kindle, rendering it useless.
Not worth the shipping to return it. hope the seller finds a kindle and notes that it does not work with the first generation kindle and quits selling it as such.
