I use a retractable micro USB cable for my K3. It keeps the trailing mess of wire to a minimum, though it may be a little fragile and you should be puuling gently by grabbing both ends, rather than the wire itself. I believe some other devices, such as portable disk drives or cameras may have micro USB cables that are shorter than the one that Kindle provided.

Any kind of USB cable that will fit in the charger will work. I currently use my HTC charger with the Kindle USB cable in to charge my kindle and phone from the mains, and my HTC microUSB cable to charge/synch it with the PC, and have absolutely no problems with it.
I love that the microUSB type is becoming increasingly popular...it seems every type of new gadget thats out is using this as standard, so I've ended up with a glut of spare cables of varying lengths just in case any of the others break/are lost |

And just remember : never put your k3 cable in your mouth. It's far worse when it's new. That taste... acid knives.

I suppose that depends on who handled it last and how well they washed their hands after handling something tangy.
The taste and smell of the plastic depends on the plastic itself and anything it may be coated with, which may vary between manufacturers. |
