Yeah, loving the standardized micro-usb chargers. My cell phone charger works for both my Kindle3g and my Sony350.
Oddly, the cell phone refuses to charge from anything else, and of course, it needs charged daily.

The Kindle and Sony battery lives are so long, I don't care if they get any longer.

I can give one stat on Kindle's battery life though: Full to nearly warning-low-level after 13 hours on TTS @ medium speed changing pages @ text size medium +1, under a pillow.

(I learned this night before last when I fell asleep listening to Abercrombie's "Last Argument of Kings". I let TTS read me to sleep every night, but usually I wake up just enough to press the space bar to stop it within the first hour.

That night, I crashed so hard, I just dislodged the earplug, so I slept through it as it ran almost to the end of the book. - about 700 pages. )
