Well Suited Power Supply

This power supply is a supplemental one for the one that accompanies the Kindle. We use it for charging at the office and leave the accompanying one for home. It appears to do what it was designed to do. No information on long-term reliability - we've only had it a month or so, but it appears to be well-made. Recommended as a supplemental charger/power supply.

Always nice to have a backup

I've left more of these in hotel rooms and places I've visited than I card to admit, at least 3 or 4. Good solid product that fits and works. Meets all my expectations even works on my new Kindle (car version) and Nikon camera. Arrived on time and well packaged. Extremely pleased.

Nice to have.

I read in the car whenever I'm riding with my husband. The car charger is a must-have. The cord length allows me to read while my Kindle is charging. I already have a wall charger, so I gave the one that came with this to my daughter. I am very satisfied with the products.

Product needed for Kindle.

Needed a new charger for Kindle. Received it promptly and it works wonderfully.

This charging kit really helps you to keep your kindle charged at all times

I enjoy being able to keep my kindle charged at all times because I take it everywhere with me and with this kit I can do just that. By adding it with my original charger, it also allows me to have a charger at home, one in the car and one in my purse (for use at work or if I am at a friends house etc.) because I never go anywhere without my kindle.

I recommend This Kit

I'm going through my orders, reviewing everything I failed to review at the time of purchase. I can't imagine why I didn't review this sooner, as it still works for the newest Kindles. (I'm writing this in 2016.) I keep the car version in the glove box, and the electrical version in my hospital bag, as I seem to wind up in the hospital far more often than I wish I did. I recommend this kit.

Great Buy

I love the fact that you get two Kindle USB cords AND a wall adaptor and car adaptor. If you have other electronic equipment (iPod, BlackBerry, Palm device, etc.) these will be incredibly handy. It's really great to leave the adaptor plugged into your car and just change the USB cord to fit your device. In a perfect world, all these devices would use a universal cord but, until that happens, these adaptors and cords make life a little bit easier.

Essential - YES - a pleasure to use and has a surprise.

I purchased the Kindle 2 within a week of its release. I carry it everywhere. The first thing I am concerned with when purchasing any portable electronic tool is having a back up charger - preferably for both home and vehicle. Initially, I went for the iGo Everywhere PS00252-0003 Universal Wall (AC) and Auto (DC) Charger with Retractable Cable (Charger Only, Tips Not Included) which was recommended when I purchased my Kindle 2. However, when it arrived, I tried to purchase a tip for the Kindle 2 and there was none to be found (Kindle 1 yes!) - even the vendor didn't have one available. One of the things that drew me to it was the shared cable. I would only have to carry one tip (wall or car) and share a cable. I returned the iGo - didn't satisfy my needs. Then I purchased the Gomadic Corp. Essential Kit. When it arrived, I was PLEASANTLY surprised to see that it used detachable USB cables for each charger - vehicle and wall. WOW! I can carry either tip (vehicle/wall) and one detachable USB cable to plug into each. These detachable cables also let me connect my Kindle 2 to my PC for file transfers (like the original USB cable/charger that came with my Kindle 2). I now have two extra USB cables, so I can keep one at home as a back-up. I am already using the plugs (vehicle/wall) and USB cable (separately) instead of the cable that came with my Kindle 2. Talk about multi-use ... this product is great. Best of all, I do a lot of traveling overseas and this lets me use one product for all my traveling. The fact that it auto-switches for foreign voltage (240) and the built in circuitry for surge protection and over charging ... makes this product a must have for anyone who does a lot of travel. One final point - since I needed both a wall and vehicle charger, this product offers both for twice the price of the Amazon Kindle 2 Replacement Power Adapter. But it gives me - TWO detachable USB cables and a way to charge my Kindle 2 in the car.

Useful items if you own a Kindle.

The items ordered will make using my Kindle easier, and I appreciate finding everything needed at one location.
