A simple US-to-Europe powerplug adapter does the trick. Or the official EU USB plug (Which you can get for 4.99$ instead of 14.99$ when ordering a Kindle for Intl shipping).

Cf. attached image. Amazon EU Plug vs. Amazon US plug + EU adapter.

Like you just posted, the Kindle handles a wide range of voltage, amperage and frequency (like most computers/electronic devices). AFAIK, that should cover pretty much everything, except 12V AC.

One thing I can tell you with certainty is that it *does* work fine with a simple powerplug adapter, both in the UK & in Europe.
