As with a lot of folks, my Kindle cable started falling apart after only a couple of years.  The jacket material was cracking and falling off.  The really strange part is I had used it the prior day and it was fine.  However, the next day when I took it out to use it, the coating started falling off.After sending an e-mail to Amazon about this, their customer representative wrote back to let me know that they were sorry that I had a problem and they issued me a credit so that I could order a replacement cable.  They even supplied links to the correct cable!  I placed an order for the cable and the credit covered the entire thing!  My cost for the cable was covered completely.I received my cable quickly and used it to plug in my depleated Kindle to charge it back up.  The cable is the same length as the original, but it is of a smaller diameter and it is stiffer than the original.  The cable worked just fine and my Kindle is now back in my hands so that I can complete the book I was reading.Once again, Amazon has wowed me with their committment to customer satisfaction!  How many companies would replace a cable for free on a product that is two years old?If you need a replacement cable or an extra one for your Kindle, this cable works well.  Time will tell if the cable cracks, but I would not expect it to.  I think that whatever they added to the original to make it soft and pliable is what caused it to crack and fail.
