I would recommend this adapter to any heaver reader like me, who doesn't want a bunch of wires sticking out from the laptop every time you want to charge your kindle. It gives a great charge in less than an hour and comes with a durable USB cord that easily plugs into both the computer and the adaptor. It is also long enough that you can read while charging which is a major bonus for a heavy reader like me. It is worth the extra money - if you are going to buy a Kindle then you NEED to buy this accessory, if nothing else.Other reviewers have suggested simply using your iPhone charger. I would not recommend this. The Kindle adaptor is made specifically for Kindle and the iPhone adaptor is made specifically for the iPhone. While they may seem to be interchangeable, in reality they are not. My Kindle charges much faster using this adaptor than it does with a phone charger. If you don't use the official charger, you run the risk of overcharging your device or harming it's internal components. Twenty bucks is the cost of two latte's and when you are investing this much money in an e-reader, it's worth it to buy the matching equipment.
