I bought cloth-covered cables from Silverstone. These cables are a bit stiff (not as flexible as they could be) but they're tough (suitable for use in the car and scattered on my busy desk) and both the standard USB end and the micro-USB ends have stood up well to regular use; with my use, generally the standard end stays plugged in (either the car or computer) while the micro-USB end is under regular use.

I considered wireless. You can buy adapters to let you turn things like your e-readers into devices you can charge wirelessly ... but when it came to it, I couldn't quite make myself get that profligate. Cables work everywhere I need them to, and now I have USB I can plug in either way it's all I really need.
