Review: Accelerated Charging?

Well, yes, it is accelerated compared with plugging it into my computer, but...it's not fast enough to charge my Kindle Fire HD 7" when I get the low-battery warning and I'm getting ready to head out the door.  (Is 15% battery enough to last through my day without charging?)  My real complaint is that when I'm using the Kindle everyday (I still have a tremendous number of physical books to read, so I don't use it daily when I'm home), I have to charge it every-other day.  I admit that I read a lot.  Every breakfast and lunch and whenever I'm in line or sitting in a waiting room, etc.  I have gotten into the habit of checking my battery every evening when I go to bed (I read myself to sleep) and if the battery shows less than 50%, I plug it in to charge overnight.  This way I'm confident it will last through my day.  I definitely do recommend the PowerFast adapter; it is almost a necessity for me.
