Ah, okay. Well at least he has a computer with USB 2.0 ports to charge it, but what a weird thing to cheap out on. I've got a wall-wart from an HTC phone that should give about the same amperage that I'll mail him for charging.

I am considering refurbished kindle keyboard wifi from UK. It doesn't come with a charger, thats all the downsides?
It still has 1 year warranty, everything is the same as buying new kindle? |

Yes pretty much.
A new Kindle from Amazon comes with a one-year warranty, a USB lead & charger, and quick start guide. Plus you have the option of buying an extra 2-year warranty for £25. A refurbished Kindle comes with a one-year warranty and a USB lead*. In saying that, I've bought two refurbished Kindles, one came with a charger too. Edited to add: I'm not 100% definite on the one-year warranty as Amazon Warehouse states 90-days, but I did read that people have contacted Amazon about this and been told it's one year for Kindles. As they seem pretty good at replacing faulty Kindles, this doesn't seem likely to be an issue anyway. Last edited by soulfuldog; 10-05-2011 at 01:18 PM. |
