Digital camera Review: Can never have enough chargers
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 5 Stars
Very useful to have these rapid and car charger. My kindle seems to drain battery very quickly even when not in use. I am glad to have these chargers that I could take with me.Digital camera Review: Essential - YES - a pleasure to use and has a surprise.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Kindle 2 within a week of its release. I carry it everywhere. The first thing I am concerned with when purchasing any portable electronic tool is having a back up charger - preferably for both home and vehicle. Initially, I went for the iGo Everywhere PS00252-0003 Universal Wall (AC) and Auto (DC) Charger with Retractable Cable (Charger Only, Tips Not Included) which was recommended when I purchased my Kindle 2. However, when it arrived, I tried to purchase a tip for the Kindle 2 and there was none to be found (Kindle 1 yes!) - even the vendor didn't have one available. One of the things that drew me to it was the shared cable. I would only have to carry one tip (wall or car) and share a cable. I returned the iGo - didn't satisfy my needs. Then I purchased the Gomadic Corp. Essential Kit.
When it arrived, I was PLEASANTLY surprised to see that it used detachable USB cables for each charger - vehicle and wall. WOW! I can carry either tip (vehicle/wall) and one detachable USB cable to plug into each. These detachable cables also let me connect my Kindle 2 to my PC for file transfers (like the original USB cable/charger that came with my Kindle 2).
I now have two extra USB cables, so I can keep one at home as a back-up. I am already using the plugs (vehicle/wall) and USB cable (separately) instead of the cable that came with my Kindle 2. Talk about multi-use ... this product is great. Best of all, I do a lot of traveling overseas and this lets me use one product for all my traveling.
The fact that it auto-switches for foreign voltage (240) and the built in circuitry for surge protection and over charging ... makes this product a must have for anyone who does a lot of travel.
One final point - since I needed both a wall and vehicle charger, this product offers both for twice the price of the Amazon Kindle 2 Replacement Power Adapter. But it gives me - TWO detachable USB cables and a way to charge my Kindle 2 in the car.
Digital camera Review: Essential Kit for the Amazon Kindle
Summary: 4 Stars
It is what it is and does what it does, and I'm glad I bought it because my daughter went home with my Kindle charger by accident. Always good to have a spare. Haven't used the car charger yet, but I'm sure it does what it's supposed to do, too. Good price for both items in a kit.Digital camera Review: Exactly As Described
Summary: 5 Stars
Everything in the package was just as described and works! Shipping was here in no time. We used it while on a trip and had no problems.
