Kindle 3 won't charge through when connected to computer

I have had my Kindle since January of last year and have always had problems charging it through the computer. It connects and disconnects itself from the computer every few minutes on occasion.

Most of the time I use my husbands Blackberry Storm charger and it works perfectly. I buy all my books from my device so I rarely have to connect my Kindle to the computer itself.

Anyways, last week I used the computer to charge it and it worked just fine. As far as I could tell it didn't disconnect itself at all. The light turned green and the battery said it was full. Last night I decided that maybe my issues with connecting to the computer were gone so I left it to charge all night. When I got up this morning I checked the light and it was still amber, yet the device itself was still connected to the computer. I safely unplugged it and checked the battery, and it hadn't budged from being 1/4 full.

So my question is, is it the USB, my computer, or my Kindle? I've tried using another USB for a Blackberry but it wouldn't connect at all.

I know I'm an idiot and should have told Amazon about my issues before because now my warranty is expired . Anyone else have similar issues like this?
