Customer Review: KINDLE IN THE CAR = AWESOME
Summary: 5 Stars
What's to review about a car charger, right? I mean, you plug it in, it does the trick, you unplug it, there you have it.
Well, let's see....
1. It's well made. It doesn't feel "cheap and hollow." Have you ever used a sort of knock off brand cell phone charger.... you know with cheap metal parts and cheap plastic? This isn't one of those.
2. Your Kindle will, in fact, charge pretty quickly. Now, I do want to point out that this item is sort of a luxury item in the sense that the Kindle DX charge lasts a time. But there will come a time when you've left your Whispernet on and the batter ran low, and you're 8.5 hours into that long journey and you're losing charge and you want to recharge. Well, here you go.
3. The cord doesn't stretch all that far, but there's really no hinderence at all. My Kindle DX is easily readable from the driver's side, while plugged in - I kid, I kid... I don't read the Kindle while driving. No, the limitation here is that if you have a power source in the front seat and you want to read while it's charging from the back seat, no go.
4. Careful not to strain the connection areas. DON'T attempt to read with the cord fully stretched. You can a) pop the cord out of the power source and smack the person in the passenger seat with the blunt end or b) risk break off from the Kindle connection. That's a no no. You don't want pieces of the cord adapter stuck in your Kindle power port. (This hasn't happened to me, but I'm aware of this sort of thing happening with other electronic adapters).
5. It's difficult for me to complain about price because I recognize that this is an item of convenience. BUT, with all the things we have to plug in these days, I wish we didn't have to have a zillion adapters - one for every possible device. By the time you spend $20 on adapters for your Kindle, Leapster, XM radio, cell phone, lap top, car vacuum, air pump, and backseat blender (again, I kid) you're out a bunch of money for a device that, in the instance of the Kindle DX, you might find isn't used all that much.
HELPFUL TIP: If you've got one of those label makers - you know, the kind that you can type out something that comes out on a ribbon. MAKE a lable for each adapter and wrap the label around the cord, taping it to itself (like a little tab or flag hanging off the side) and you'll NEVER forget which adapter goes to what device, ever again.
Solid product, works great, saves time, not necessary, probably, but it does what it is supposed to do!
