Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Rip off !!!!!!!!!!! 29 Nov 2011
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 !!!

It's a plug 27 Nov 2011
By TabiCat
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!!!

Power adapter - Kindle UK
Good item, should be issued as standard with each Kindle though!Used it once so far - as the battery on the Kindle lasts ages!

A must buy if you want to charge your kindle, nice and easy to use and compact enough to pack in suitcase when going on holiday.

I have yet to try this plug but I am sure it is worth buying because Amazon do not sell junk they sell quality items.

Happy customer
Very pleased with my Kindle, even better than I expected, takes up less room in handbag than a book, so handy on the train. Also easy to read in bed. Read more

Good standard product
It appears as well made as the original supplied with the Kindle but still is a tad too expensive considering that they are mass produced in millions.

Over priced
This is just an ordinary USB mains socket which you can buy for £2.99 It's not fair to market this as a mains plug for the Kindle when you can buy a generic one so much cheaper.

Use mobile phone charger instead?
My cheap PAYG Samsung mobile phone charger seems to do the job for my new Kindle Touch. If anyone thinks this might damage it please shout out!
