As much as I like Amazon, it continues to treat its northern neighbour as a poor cousin. And, in this case, I was just wondering if the locally purchased Kindle had the charger ... that would at least justify a slightly higher retail price.

I use Blackberry chargers (mini and micro USB, depending on Kobos, Kindles or Kobo Touch) instead of computer charging. It's easy, quick, and simple for travelling (where I don't bring a laptop).
This must be a fairly recent development?

I'm in Canada. My k3 came with a wall charger, my replaced under warranty k3 came with a wall charger (so now I have 2), my wife's k3 came with a wall charger.

By wall charger, I mean a little dongle type thing that plugs into the wall and then the usb cable plugs into the dongle.
