I think Harry might have thought I was talking about the USB cable that plugs into the PC to transfer files to the Fire and I first thought he meant to use it to charge the Fire with.
HarryT was correct and he was talking about the USB cable. I think your confusion comes from perhaps not reading the entire thread, particularly my post with links. I/we were discussing an alternative to the OEM charger. One of the links I provided is for a compact, 2.1a USB charger (without cable). With this charger one can use a USB-to-micro-USB cable of their choice such as the longer cable that is used with the e-ink Kindles or any other. Charger and cable are two different items. Please read my post earlier in the thread and click on the first link to the charger.
