Amazon Kindle EU Power Adapter (Kindle, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle DX)

I scheduled vacation in Germany and wanted to bring my Kindle. I knew that Europe has a higher voltage of electricity -- I learned that the hard way when I fried my nebulizer in a hotel. I had ordered the Kindle EU Power Adapter and the Insten Universal World Wide Travel Charger Adapter Plug, just to be safe. The Insten didn't arrive in time. I took the Kindle EU Power Adapter and hoped for the best. Not only was I able to charge my Kindle safely and in a normal time-frame, but I used it to charge my phone too!!! It worked great. It was a life-saver. I plan on going back to Europe and the Kindle EU Power Adapter now permanently resides in my Kindle M-Edge case, along with my US charger.I highly recommend this product.PS: Be aware that other countries have physically different electrical sockets, but the countries often have higher voltage in those sockets. US sockets are typically 110 volts but other countries can be 240 volts, which is higher than my clothes dryer of 220.

This is a great quality USB charger for the money. If you travel to Europe a lot this will just work without having to borrow one of those silly US to Europe chargers from the reception in the airline lounge or hotel that you have to watch all the time to make sure that they are actually making proper contact with your US charger and charging your Kindle/iPad/iPod/iPhone/BlackBerry etc.The Apple USB charger retails for double this, so this is a good one to keep when you travel as it will charge all your USB devices, and it costs half of Apple's retail one -  Apple USB Power Adapter (Newest Version) [Retail Packaging ].Now I know you can pick up USB chargers from various retailers on Amazon for around $2 or $3, and I have been cheap enough to try them with all kind of problems ranging from overheating to burning smells, but seriously folks, you have devices that costs 100s of dollars attached to them, and if one of those cheap ones go over-voltage on your $600+ iPhone it will fry it... buy a quality one like this.

This adapter, when combined with the Kindle USB cable, makes it easy to charge the Kindle in continental Europe. It works between 110 and 240 Volts, so with an adapter plug it can actually be used anywhere in the world.Please note that the standard US Kindle adapter is also designed for 110 to 240 Volts, so if you have a simple adapter plug (the kind you might use for an electric shaver when traveling) and the US version, you do not need to buy the European model. And if you are traveling with a computer, you can connect the Kindle to the computer with the USB cable and charge it that way.The adapter works well but is very expensive to have shipped to Europe and I don't know about other Kindles, but mine needs to be recharged about twice a week!

A gem. This unit is an engineering feat, being an engineer myself, I was afraid to plug this in, thinking this is some big, fat, silly joke that fries your kindle DX and puts you in a most wretched state of being. The casing design is flawless, the assembly is a story worth of hearing all by itself. Of course, it works, and a real nice thing is that this unit doubles as an ultra compact 5 volt power source, giving you power close to an ampere - something that you can use for thousands of things, amongst some of which could be a led-lamp for your kindle DX, which you can solder in about five minutes, or a small fan, or just power for some of the pieces of electronics of yours, or - you name it. This unit is a birthright of a kindle DX, and no kindle DX-s should go without this one!

I used this to charge my Kindle on a recent trip to Turkey and Greece. Because it has an USB port on the opposite end from the prongs, I also used it to charge my iPhone. It worked fine. BUT, don't depend on being able to use it without a regular converter. There was a hotel where this would not fit in the wall (who knows why) and I had to use the converter I also brought with me.I suppose if you have a GOOD converter, you dont even need this plug. The converter I took was a Walkabout ([...])Be aware that Kindle power adaptor ONLY works in European outlets. Other countries (including England) have different outlets. You will need your entire power cord so that you can plug it into the converter.

I love this small piece of adapter, it's not only usable for kindles, but also ipad, iphone, or even blackberry, nokia, you name it. You name it. I went on a shooting assignment without bringing my blackberry's charger. The adapter + the cable from my card reader saved my life.The thin design is another plus. I hate those kinds of "brick-like adapter" which hogs all the space on my power outlet.The only thing that bugs me a bit is that it's a bit long, and some of the sockets in my house are behind a table, a chair or a wardrobe. So it maybe a bit inconvenient.Highly Recommended!

It's a charger for micro usb. If you already have one, use that instead. If you lost the charger to your cellphone, then you could use this one. They say in the description that this charger is for kindle only but if it was then they wouldn't have chosen micro usb where they have to design it with certain specifications already set, they would instead have chosen some obscure plug where they could choose whatever voltage they wanted to.So, to conclude this, you probably already have a charger that works with kindle at home. If you don't have one already, you can probably find a cheaper one at your local hardware store.

I bought this EU power adapter after I had received and started to use my Kindle Touch 3G and had to pay three times the price of the charger for the mandatory express delivery. Needless to say, this is unnecessary and annoying for people living outside the U.S.The charger itself has a neat size, works well, and meets my expectations.

Kurz-Fazit:+ Gutes Ladegerät mit 5,0V+ Für alle USB-Kabel und Geräte+ Qualität von Amazon+ Weisse Farbe passt auch zu Apple Geräten+ Schmale Bauweise, platzsparend+ Gibt es zum Kindle günstig dazuIch habe bereits zwei Kindle eBook Reader und habe mich schon länger geärgert, dass jeweils nur ein USB-Kabel beilag und kein Ladegerät bzw. Netzstecker! Ständig das Ladekabel von Smartphone oder Tablet ausstecken zu müssen und das Kindle Kabel anstecken war mir schlicht zu mühsam. Als meine Tochter dann auch noch einen Kindle zum Geburtstag wollte, gab es die Aktion, dass man das weisse Ladegerät sehr günstig mit dazu bestellen kann. Gesagt, getan! Seither müssen wir keine Kabel mehr umstecken und die drei Kindles (Paperwhite 2012, Voyage 2015 und Oasis 2017) teilen sich ein Ladegerät.Zum Amazon Ladegerät für Kindle:Das Ladegerät von Amazon wird in einem kleinen braun-schwarzen Karton geliefert. Im Inneren befindet sich das weisse Ladegerät bzw. Netzstecker. Die Ausgangsleistung ist 5V, das reicht also auch für die meisten Smartphones und Tablets. Wer dafür noch kein Ladegerät besitzt oder ein defektes hat, da ist dieses Amazon Ladegerät eine preisgünstige und leistungsfähige Alternative. Der Formfaktor des Ladegeräts ist relativ flach und passt somit auch in die meisten Steckdosenleisten oder in Lichtschalter-Steckdosen-Kombis, ohne andere Plätze zu versperren. Dadurch, dass das Ladegerät nur zwei Pole besitzt, eignet es sich auch gut zum Verreisen und passt in alle europäischen Steckdosen. Wir haben beim Aufladen unserer drei Kindles einen Test durchgeführt mit einigen Wochen Abstand: Das Amazon Ladegerät lud die Kindles minimal schneller auf als ein herkömmliches Netzteil vom Smartphone (Apple iPhone). Für wenige Euro kann dieses Ladegerät also locker mit den Markenprodukten mithalten. Der blaue Aufkleber ist ein Brother p-Touch Label und gehört nicht zum Lieferumfang. Wir beschriften alle unsere Kabel und Netzteile, damit im Haushalt alle wissen, welches Kabel zu welchem Gerät gehört.Ich vergebe 5 Sterne für ein wirklich gutes Ladegerät zum kleinen Preis. Schade nur, dass Amazon hier spart und dieses leistungsstarke Ladegerät nicht bei jedem Kindle dabei ist. Nicht jeder Haushalt hat schliesslich USB-Netzteile en masse herumliegen. Durch die schmale Bauweise nehmen wir das Ladegerät auch immer auf Reisen mit.🔌 Ich gebe mir beim Schreiben all meiner Rezensionen und Bewertungen immer sehr viel Mühe. Ich teste die von mir selbst gekauften Artikel ausgiebig, um anderen Menschen die Kaufentscheidung zu erleichtern.Hat Dir meine Rezension gefallen oder geholfen? Prima, das freut mich! 🔌

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Confezione minimalista ma pratica: dentro lo scatolino troviamo soltanto il caricatore. Tutto qui!Per il resto, sul caricatore c'è poco da dire: è spettacolare e fatto bene... e perciò lo consiglio a tutti. Anche perché, oltre al Kindle, è buono anche per caricare tutti gli altri apparecchi che abbiamo in casa (Smartphone, tablet, ecc.).⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

E' qui che sbaglia Amazon, sono queste piccole sottigliezze che non gli fanno fare il salto di qualita'. Oramai sono un assiduo compratore su Amazon ma certe volte non capisco la loro potilita commerciale. Bastava inserirlo nella confezione del Kindle, che ho appena comprato, e tutti sarebbero stati felici e contenti. No, te lo vendo a parte e te lo faccio pagare anche caro, giustificando il fatto che è stato "progettato" proprio per essere utilizzato sul kindle e i suoi fratelli. Sbagliato perche' trattasi di un comune caricatore usb..... perche' prendere in giro i tuoi affezionati clienti? Ti basterebbe veramente poco, cara Amazon, per guadagnarti maggior fiducia.

Lo compré para cargar el kindle y dispositivos que requieren bajo voltaje.Me parece mal que no esté incluido en el kindle, pero además no es de muy buena calidad, ya que emite un pitido que puede llegar a ser molesto... Creo que no merece pagar el sobrecoste con respeto a otros enchufes que se puedan comprar en un bazar.

Tengo aún un Kindle Keyboard (antes Kindle 3G) americano, con la funda con luz y los tan temidos cuelgues. Como quiera que en su día me comentaron desde el por otra parte excelente servicio de atención al cliente de Amazon que tal vez agravara el problema no usar el cargador oficial de Kindle sino cualquier otro de móviles u otros aparatos.Como quiera que compré otro Kindle estas Navidades decidí aprovechar el descuento del 50% y adquirir este adaptador USB de corriente por 10 euros. En cuanto lo recibí con la eficacia habitual de Amazon corrí a hacer la prueba con varios cargadores: agoté la batería del Kindle (que ni aun usando el WiFi junto a la funda con luz es tarea fácil) y registré cuánto tardaba en cargar con distintos adaptadores de corriente. Los adaptadores eran: uno de Apple para iPhone (5W, 1A), un adaptador USB de ZTE (que suministra 500 mA solamente cuando no detecta que el dispositivo sea un teléfono ZTE), el puerto USB del ordenador (que suministra 500 mA también, y por tanto 2,5W) y este adaptador de Kindle que viene especificado para 0,85A y por tanto 4,25W.El resultado de mi prueba es: que tarda exactamente lo mismo en cargar con este adaptador que con el de Apple, y con el de ZTE que con el puerto de PC por la peculiaridad antes mencionada. De lo que deduzco que realmente cualquier adaptador de USB a enchufe de pared debería funcionar igual que esto, haciendo su compra innecesaria más allá de querer prevenir cualquier incompatibilidad futura o sobrevenida.Eso sí, una precaución importante: en mi Kindle 3G con teclado, a veces cuando lo cargaba con cualquier otro cargador (y a veces con un PC) la luz siempre se quedaba en ámbar y el aparato hacía un bucle de carga al 99% calentándose bastante. Otras veces se me quedaba colgado. Pero como quiera que los Kindle 3G son notoriamente problemáticos, aún no sé si esto se debe al cargador o a otra cosa. Iré actualizando mi opinión si encuentro que cargar el Kindle con otro cargador que no sea el de Amazon provoca problemas: hasta entonces, en serio, no te gastes 20€ en esto porque no lo merece. Diez euros ya duelen menos, si lo adquieres junto a un Kindle, pero si ya tienes adaptadores de este tipo lo sigo viendo innecesario.
