The Kindle has an LED to indicate that its charging/charged. I'm told that its amber when charging and green when fully charged. Me, I'm colour blind so I've absolutely no idea if this is true or not!
THE most common form of colour blindness is in the Red/Green area, far more men then women are colour blind.
How about flashing light = charging - light on constantly = fully charged. They can make the light whatever colour they like then it wont make any difference.
