None of the Australians received one, which is why there are a couple of threads on this forum saying how difficult it is to charge the kindle. Because Australian wall USB wall chargers (and even the iphone chargers) actually render the kindle useless. The only way to charge them is to put the USB through a computer, but I dont carry one when I travel.

I rang Amazon from Australia on Saturday, (ouch$$$) and they knew we didnt get a charger but they didnt realise our chargers dont work! Maybe I was the first one to call them.

I have also now contacted their kindle support line quoting their own website, and have also put this on the Amazon community forum (which is on the amazon site) so am planning for this to be fixed or I will get really cranky!
