I had to also buy a universal power adapter kit (you know with the tips n stuff) in order to charge the Kindle 1 as official power adapters are EXTREMELY rare.
Kindle 1s are rare because they were only really sold for five and a half hours- when they were restocked in 2008 the Kindle 2 was out and costed less and had more features. Lots of people sold the Kindle 1 (or traded them in if that was possible) and as such most Kindle 1 units aren't owned by their original owners, or they haven't been powered in years.

Yes, I imagine there aren't many around. I knew it was too good to be true that I would get a free Oasis.
