Generic Car Chargers
I want to confirm my understanding of options related to charging the Nook Tablet. It is my understanding that this most important piece of the puzzle is the cord- as this determines the voltage and amperage supplied to the Tablet (assuming the source is sufficient). So as long as I'm using the Nook Tablet charging cable, I should be able to use a non-B&N car charger that puts out something in the neighborhood of ~1.9 amps at 5 DCV.

I see a number of these specifically marketed for charging tablets that put out that much amperage as opposed to the generic USB chargers that seem to top out around 1 amp. I should be able to plug a USB adapter into the power source in the car then connect the Tablet's charging cable.

Do I have this correct? I'd like to pick up a USB adapter for the car but hate to spend $25 on the B&N kit.
