The kindle battery lasts so long on a charge that I doubt anybody gets surprised when it starts running low. So I don't see much need for faster charging myself.
Wireless charging? The dock would probably cost about as much as the Kindle. And since we have to charge the Kindle so seldom anyway, why bother and put up with the expense?
The only benefit worth paying for IMHO (and not paying MUCH for), is the USB-C plug is not keyed and can be inserted either way.

All good points.
I almost never transfer more than 4 books at a shot. Any extra time needed, Calibre is probably using up, converting some of the books to the required format, so no real loss there.
So what is this flaming need to transfer and charge instantly
I charge when I sleep (both myself and the K
) and I WANT my 8 hours+
There is a (required) mark on USB plugs, what is odd, is there is no (known to me) requirement for orientation of the jack on the device, a symmetrical plug would be convenient. BUT not so, that I would need ANOTHER cord at all my usual locations (Home, car, work, laptop go-bag) FWIW I already have Hammer headed USB Mini-Micro cords (good for 1 device at a time)
