Review: Kindle charger

I received a Kindle Fire for my Christmastime birthday and loved getting it.  I discovered very soon, that a charger does not come with it.  To get by, I used my phone charger and like people have mentioned, it worked but was very slow.  I chatted online with an Amazone rep who recommended this accessory.  It works very well and charges much faster.  The thing I do not like about this charger is the fold down prongs.  This is a feature that I am sure is handy for storing this accessory to take with you on the road, However, when I am trying to plug it into a wall outlet down by my bed, for example, or behind a piece of furniture, the pronts keep folding flat and I have to start over.  It is frustrating.  However, this is a small thing, and if I would use a more convenient outlet, at eye level, it wouldn't be a problem.  I just thought I'd mention it, just to share a little frustration.  Otherwise, it is a great charger.  It is a little expensive and I don't if the cheaper one (for $9.99) would be any less fast.  I'd have buy both to try them out and I'm happy with my purchase as is.
