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.

The NT charger and charger cable have 2 extra wires to supply twice as much power to the NT as a regular USB charger/cable. The cable also has some electronics that puts the NT in power charging mode.
You can use any regular USB charger to charge the NT, but it will not power charge. So it will take about 7 hours instead of 3.5 to fully charge.
