The Kindle FireHD8.9 will trickle charge with a generic USB cable connected to a standard USB power source and it fast-charges with its proprietary power brick and cable. But using the proprietary power brick with a generic cable results in a trickle charge.
I'm taking care not to use that cable with anything else. Just in case.

On the other hand, the older white cable for the KT works fine with the Sony T1.
