Review: It works, but it's a ripoff at current price

Do you have an old usb power adapter somewhere in your home? Try that one first.I am disappointed in Amazon following "Apple" in overpricing accessories for their products. I hope Amazon does not follow by overpricing the main products themselves in the near future.This is a very basic, made in China adapter. Nothing special, and it's actually fairly large in size for what it is.Sure it works fine, and charges your kindle devices.Quick overview:- Large (might be hard to plug other wide plugs into a wall when this one is taking 1.5 the space it should. ( while less thick, it's about twice as wide as the ipad/iphone chargers) )- Looks fine, not terribly cheap, not really premium either.- Costs about $15 too much- Chargers the kindle paperwhite in about 5 hours from an almost dead battery.I wasn't going to buy it, but got it on sale for about 1/10 of the price, so I picked it up.This should have been included with your kindle purchase, and if not, made into a $5 (at most) accessory. Right now, it just seems like you buy a product (lets say the basic kindle for $70) and if you want to charge it through an outlet you need to spend  $20 more, making it a $90 device.Way overpriced, and disappointed in what Amazon is doing with the accessories. Especially one as cheap as this.Save your money and use an existing one, or go buy a generic usb/wall charger.
