Given the cost of the Kindles vs. other readers, etc. the cost of a USB charger isn't horrible. Heck, you don't even need to buy the one specifically for a Kindle. It just has to be a USB port that plugs into a wall. I've seen them on Amazon for less than $5 at times.
Given that more and more devices these days are chargeable via USB, I actually don't mind purchasing the type of chargers that have multiple USB ports as I can charge a phone, Kindle, MP3 player all at once as long as I have that device's USB cable.
I find it more troubling that many devices, especially MP3 players and phones, find it necessary to make proprietary connections on their actual devices. It would be nice if everyone would just use a standard Mini or Micro USB cable. But I'm digressing.
