Car charger for the Kindle

Has anyone bought a charger for the car that works with the kindle?

I bought one from Gomadic with the interchangeable tips for the Kindle and my GPS. May get another tip for my Palm.

Edit: That reads a little unclear. It's one universal car charger with interchangeable tips.

Yep: the "i-Go" off of Amazon. Buying the base unit isn't enough, you need to buy the correct tip for the Kindle as well.

I also have a 110V inverter that plugs into the lighter socket and then has two regular wall-style outlets to plug anything into - for that one you just carry the Kindle's regular charger. To me, it's a little easier to use, as, when I travel long distances, I have to take the regular wall wart chargers for things (laptop, cell phone, Kindle, iPod) anyway. So rather than pack the wall chargers AND a specialty car charger for each, I just pack the one set and the inverter. You can find those at any electronics store.

I also bought the GoMadic, since I spend most of my summer on a boat, where space (and the number of DC outlets) is limited. I bought the double charger, so my Kindle goes on one side and my Centro on the other. It works perfectly.

Can't beat This deal from Radio Shack. They're on clearance for $1.97 in stores (not available online), and work like a champ.
