I love to read in the car. and when I travel this charger makes it easy for me to recharge my Kindle in the car. Thanks for the ease of use.

I received this brand new white rapid home travel charger unit last Feb. 4. While in the USA, the unit worked (plugged in 110VAC/60Hz power outlet) twice used it. I am now in Asia (Feb. 11) where the power is 240VAC/50Hz. After plugging it in with my Kindle 2, it initially looked alright with red LED “on” (and yellow LED on Kindle “on”). Some time later, the unit popped open (not exactly sure how long after I plugged it as I left the Kindle 2 unit recharging in another room). The back cover blew-off and was found 10 inches away with black burn marks inside surface. A black transistor component part (labelled Q2 on circuit board) burst – surely a fire hazard and safety risk! Now it is not working (red LED “off”, yellow LED light “off” in Kindle 2). Luckily my Kindle 2 is not damaged! This is definitely a poorly made product with inferior, sub-standard electronic parts, and the maker seems to have no quality control measures (no UL testing marks, etc. and no other consumer product safety testing certifications). DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP!

This is a piece of garbage that doesn’t work. Kindle charging light never goes on, doesn’t charge.

Now it’s totally ridiculous that I have to spend $20 for replacement charger for the Kindle (shame on Amazon), but even worse that I spent money on this piece of cr*p.

Just received this charger and it does not function at all. It is possible that mine was simply defective, however, and not an accurate representation of the product. Be that as it may, I’m still forced to buy a different one.

An earlier travel charger for Kindle 2 sold by this vendor was unanimously condemned for not working. This version, though, works just fine. (Different manufacturer, I suppose.) Charges pretty quickly, too. Price can’t be beat.
