Review: Awesome, but should come with the Kindle

The only reason this does not have 5 stars is because I had to spend $20 on it. In my opinion, it should come with the Kindle when you buy it. The USB cord that comes with the Kindle in the box will charge the device on any computer; however, it will take approximately 12 hours to charge and you cannot use it during this time or it will stop charging the device. 12 HOURS?!? Are you kidding me? That's insane. With this little tiny adapter, my Kindle is fully charged in 3.5-4 hours. And I can use it while plugged in without pausing the charge.Honestly, it's totally worth it... 3.5 hours vs. 12 hours is way more convenient. But it's the principle of the thing, really.  For example: when you buy a new phone, it comes with a charger that will charge that phone in a relatively acceptable amount of time. If it took my phone 12 hours to charge, I just wouldn't use it anymore.  But, eh... I digress.Final thoughts: Excellent charge time and a must-have for people who have their Kindle glued to their hands like me.
