I took this on a vacation to a 220V location and it was really useful. The adapters change by twisting them on and off the main body of the charger. The 220V plug was extended far enough to fit into the recessed sockets that are typical in 220 Volt-Land. The other nice thing about the design is that the adapters, when installed, fit smoothly and almost seamlessly onto the charger. The fast charger allows you to charge up the Kindle faster than the standard unit, so it's easy to keep the Kindle up and running. I used my Kindle Fire as a tablet, accessing mail and web via apps available for free. Along with the Wifi so prevalent in hotels and other locations, it was pretty simple to stay in touch until we departed for a really remote area and had no more internet (or even radio and TV) for a portion of the trip. But while I was in "civilization", I was able to link up to my email. Meanwhile, I was able to charge the Kindle and use it the entire trip. I noticed that on one of the planes, the charger outlet was a DC plug (like a 12V automobile plug) so be warned that this may not work on an airplane.
