Before making a purchase decision is worth considering that:A - any charger that outputs through a USB Micro-B plug will charge your 2d or 3d generation KindleB - even your computer will charge your Kindle through a Type-A to Micro-B USB cableC - this adapter will charge any devices that can be charged through a Micro-B port (phones, headsets, cameras)This is a versatile, universal USB charger with a detachable USB cable. You can use it to charge anything that accepts a USB Micro-B plug. I'm using the charger that came with my Kindle 3 with my Blackberry Bold and a couple of headsets.The charger is made of 2 parts:- the plug/adapter that goes into the AC outlet with a USB Type-A receptacle- a detachable USB Type-A to Micro-B cable that can be used as a stand-alone if neededYou need to get the cable off the adapter if you want to connect your Kindle to your computer/laptop via the USB port.If the question is 'do I need another one' or 'do I need a backup/replacement' the answer is probably 'yes' if you don't happen to have similar chargers that came with your other gadgets. If you already have a couple than you will have to make a decision depending of how many you believe it's 'enough'.
