Greetings
I'm in Australia and I'm thinking of getting a kindle. I've noticed that some people have had trouble recharging from the power point using other brands of rechargers.My questions are:
1.would it bewise to get the optional power adapter from amazon ($9.99) so that I can be sure it will recharge from power point in Oz
2.I'm going to europe in may and think it would be wise to get the europe adapter-also from Amazon so that I can be sure I will be able to recharge. The main point of buying the kindle is having it for europe but if I can't recharge it there wouldn't be much point!
Has anyone with the international kindle used the amazon adapters?
