For some reason I didn't think to buy a charger when I ordered the Kindle Fire 8.9 and I then got an offer for this at $9.99. By this time I had gotten my Fire and realized that charging via the computer was not going to work. I used the charger that came with my Kindle e-reader but that had been acting up, so I decided for 10 bucks, why not? I got it today and though the Fire was at 80% capacity I still charged it because I never let devices get low. Anyway, it charged very fast, I didn't actually time it, but it was much faster than my e-reader charger. And I can use this for my e-reader, so I can put the old charger away for emergencies. I think it will also work on my phone but since I don't have a smart phone, the charge lasts a long time and charges up quickly already. I'm not sure why some reviewers are saying it wasn't faster because it really is. It would have been nice if this just came with the Kindle Fire but that has nothing to do with how effective the product is.I think I would have bought this without the discount even if similar ones are cheaper because I like Amazon quality.
