Don’t expect to get a new power supply from Amazon. You won’t even get a rational response from customer service in response to inquiries/complaints about the lack of availability of necessary peripherals for a $400 device.

If the description of the Kindle had been more explicit, I would not have wasted the money on a second power adapter.

I left my charger on the other coast on vacation. For some reason Amazon did not see fit to have the Kindle able to recharge from USB although this is very easy to do. So I order one here only to find they are out of stock and my much loved unit is likely to be on empty before I get it.
What is the deal? Kindle is hyped to high heaven but Amazon hasn’t bothered to set up to meet demand. My unit took nearly six weeks to arrive. Nor have they set up to meet accessory demand. Does Amazon want to be in this business or not? If they do then it is time to bring everything up to speed related to the unit.
Frankly I find it addictive and I order even more books than normal now, which is a lot. I think Amazon could profitably give a free Kindle to moderate to heavy ordering customers and do quite well.

I received the Amazon Kindle for Christmas. I absolutely love it! I’ve already read 4 books on it – I’ve found myself having a need for a spending limit each month so I don’t go broke buying books for my Kindle. Two suggestions: make the “next page” button on the right side of the Kindle smaller because it is touchy and moves you to the next page and the next and the next if you just slightly touch it. Second, a night light would be incredibly helpful. My husband doesn’t mind me reading the Kindle in bed because he doesn’t constantly hear the pages turning, but I can’t see it without the light on! Fantastic product for avid readers!

I find that companies that make proprietary chargers are creating waste at the expense of their secondary profit source. I have tried a small tip charger, as well as a generic usb connection in order to charge the device before investing in yet another charging device.
It looks like the iGo is compatable as well as a knock off company sold on Amazon, but shame on Amazon for not building this feature into this $400 device.
Onto having to spend money on yet another similar charger in order to read my books and keep adding to the pile of cords in my office.
