The Kindle PowerFast charger is a waste of money. It's only 1.8A and has only one USB port. You can get better for the same money for less money. The Ikea charger I linked charges at 2.1A or 2.4A (not sure which but I am sure it's at least 2.1A). Plus it costs less and has 3 USB ports. The Powerfast is only 1.8A and one USB port and is expensive (for what it is).
