4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for the new Kindle; but not on its own a replacement if your lead is damaged, 15 Oct 2011
By 
Seren Ade (UK) - See all my reviews
(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Amazon Kindle UK (Type G) Power Adapter (Kindle, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle DX) (Accessory)
Amazon have changed their power adapter. You now receive a plug ONLY rather than a plug and lead. For the same price.

Having just the plug makes this adapter ideal for use with the new Kindle or refurbished versions of the Kindle Keyboard wi-fi/3G (all of which ship with a USB lead only), as the end of the USB lead you already have slots into the plug, converting the lead into a mains charger. But it's not so great if you have a damaged lead/plug and aren't sure which bit needs replacing or have mislaid your power supply - as you will need to buy both this plug and a USB lead. Even at the current reduced price for the plug, buying the separate plug and lead is more expensive than the two combined used to be.

I find charging my Kindle via the mains is significantly faster than drawing upon a USB port for power, and that it's easier to keep reading with the Kindle plugged in this way than with it attached to my laptop/desktop, so in this respect I think an adapter is worth having. However, the pricing for the own-brand plug is a bit steep, especially when compared to the cost of the low end Kindle which went on UK release earlier this month. Even at the reduced rate, the plug is more than 10% of the price of the Kindle!

As the new Kindle has the same size USB plug as the Kindle Keyboard models (and many mobile phones) there are plenty of third party solutions, including a range of leather cases which come bundled with chargers. If you're lucky, your existing mobile phone charger may do the trick.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rip off !!!!!!!!!!!, 29 Nov 2011
This review is from: Amazon Kindle UK (Type G) Power Adapter (Kindle, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle DX) (Accessory)
Ti be honest i should have read the feedback before ordering but everything else i have bought from Amazon has been great.
It is only a usb/ac adapter which can be bought from most electrical shops/supermarkets for about £1 & it doesn't look anything like the one advertised. If you have bought a camera in the last couple of years then check your box because you should have 1 of these anyway, infact i have 3 from different items. I thought this was Kindle specific & £8.99 is a joke. It will be going back !!!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a plug, 27 Nov 2011
This review is from: Amazon Kindle UK (Type G) Power Adapter (Kindle, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle DX) (Accessory)
This USB to mains plug does the job of converting your Kindle lead to a mains charger nicely and is colour-co-ordinated to match your Kindle. But £8.99 for a pretty basic plug is silly and the RRP is absolutely shocking: no wonder Amazon have never sold the plug at full price! It's cheaper to shop around as you can buy decent quality cover and charger bundles for less than the RRP on this, including delivery.

EDIT

eek! They put it up to £12.99 in the run-up to Christmas!!!
