Has anyone bought a charger for the car that works with the kindle?

I bought one from Gomadic (http://www.gomadic.com/index.html) with the interchangeable tips for the Kindle and my GPS. May get another tip for my Palm.

Edit: That reads a little unclear. It's one universal car charger with interchangeable tips.

Yep: the "i-Go" off of Amazon. Buying the base unit isn't enough, you need to buy the correct tip for the Kindle as well.

I also have a 110V inverter that plugs into the lighter socket and then has two regular wall-style outlets to plug anything into - for that one you just carry the Kindle's regular charger. To me, it's a little easier to use, as, when I travel long distances, I have to take the regular wall wart chargers for things (laptop, cell phone, Kindle, iPod) anyway. So rather than pack the wall chargers AND a specialty car charger for each, I just pack the one set and the inverter. You can find those at any electronics store.

I also bought the GoMadic, since I spend most of my summer on a boat, where space (and the number of DC outlets) is limited. I bought the double charger, so my Kindle goes on one side and my Centro on the other. It works perfectly.

Can't beat This deal from Radio Shack. (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2259455) They're on clearance for $1.97 in stores (not available online), and work like a champ.
