Might be of help to some of you.

Someone posted the output specs for the charger as 4.9V 0.85A. Does seem kind of weird that a generic AC-USB charger doesn't work, as they have a 5V output like a standard USB port on a computer which will charge the Kindle.

Sorry Non-US residents, they don't ship that product internationally.
