Amazon, you asked me for a customer review on this product? You can't be serious. What is there to say about an adaptor plug? You buy a Kindle, you need to recharge it, and it's not always possible to plug into a computer with the USB cable that comes with the Kindle. So what do customers do? They shell out £12.99 for an Amazon adaptor plug. This is bad, bad marketing on your part because no one likes to be ripped off and this is just what you are doing to your customers. Do I regret buying my Kindle? No, but I certainly do resent having to buy this adaptor at an exorbitant price from you. It should be supplied with every Kindle purchase as part of the package.

Brought the new kindle earlier this year and was disapointed it did not come with a charger!! as i go away alot i need the charger! was going to buy one from here but was glad i read reviews, i have discovered i can use my husbands ipod adaptor for my kindle so saved myslef some money. I am happy with the kindle its very good, but think it should have come with the adaptor! and i understand previous models did?????? maybe amazon could answer this much asked question???

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 !!!

E-reader power adapter
Good purchase, as not only fitted my own Kobo but also husband's Kindle - had expected to have to buy two adapters but not at all.

How Much?!
Christmas 2011 and I paid £8.99 for one of these plugs. They are now £17.99, they've managed to more than double the price in the space of a year! What a rip off!

Useful but expensive
A useful, well made product but very expensive for what it is. However it makes charging the kindle much easier and is good for travelling if you aren't taking a computer.

Picked purely because I needed a mains adapter. Does exactly what you would expect. Should have been included with kindle.

Works with Kindle USB computer lead. Purchased as part of package at reduced price, which was o.k. I would not have paid the full price for this as it can't be that difficult to... Read more

It's only a plug
Effectively it is only a plug and works perfectly. I thought it was expensive but realised I had made the mistake of ordering the USB cable as well. Don't make the same mistake!
