Review: Miserable Product

The Kindle USB cord has caused me no end of grief. I have gone through two of them in a year, and neither worked properly. At first I thought there was a problem with my computer's USB port, since the first one was returned for inadequate connection issues. The replacement cord disillusioned me of this idea. The plug had to be inserted into the Kindle outlet just so, and I could spend upwards of ten minutes jiggling the wires until it maintained a connection. The second cord has been deteriorating steadily until it gave out entirely this afternoon.This is not only the lousiest product, but Amazon has backed us poor Kindle owners into the proverbial wall with having no viable generic options to fall back on. This will be the third time I have shelled out $10 to replace the forsaken things only to find that the performance of the new one was even more pitiful than the last.ETA: The third replacement cord seems to be functioning better than the others, yet there are still some connectivity issues.
