Standard micro-USB with K#
Will a standard micro-USB cord (not the one that ships with the K3) properly charge and allow computer docking?
Title should be K3... :-( |

Micro-USB cords
I have been using other micro-usb cords to charge and manage my kindle for over a year. They work fine. Just make sure they are all the way in.

Yes
I bought a few extra cable for my phone and they work great with the Kindle 3. I have been buying cable for years from Monoprice. They have great prices and good quality. I bought a few "3ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male" cables for $1.19 each (product id = 5457). Shipping to pretty cheap too. Monoprice has some cheap USB AC Power chargers and Car Charger too if you need a backup. Last edited by wilderf3353; 01-14-2011 at 08:05 AM. |

It's perhaps not the most obvious choice, but Amazon are really good for low-cost cables, too. Especially if you're a "Prime" member so you get the shipping free.
