Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Not compatible with older Kindle Fire or Paperwhite
I'm sure the cord is fine. I wouldn't know, as it is not compatible with either my Kindle Fire HDX or Paperwhite. In the photo, the connector on the right (viewer's right) is the original cord for my Paperwhite. The Kindle Fire cord is the same. On the left is the micro-USB connector on the power cord ordered. While the Kindle Fire is older, the Paperwhite was ordered May 18, 2023 and this cord is not usable for the device. My error as a consumer for not researching in advance, but took the descriptor "designed for use with Fire tablets and Kindle E-readers" at face value.
For an hour I researched what type of usb cord would work in my kindle oasis, which is around 5-6 years old- it was frustrating because it’s not really clear which cord actually works. I thought it would have been easier to find. I ordered this black usb cord, as description briefly said it would work in an e-reader . . I am happy to report it works great! So happy I can charge and read my books now. The cord is long which works great for me. Great buy.
I returned the first Kindle Fire cable and received the replacement very quickly. That was great, the only problem it that the cable was exactly like the first one and did not fit into my Kindle. Since the Kindle Fire is a product of Amazon, you would think they would know that it didn't fit and the write-up in the description is wrong and need to be corrected. I am not bothering to send it back again, was able to find a cable that worked elsewhere.
I bought this for my brand new kindle fire 8 plus and it doesn't fit. When I was looking for a cable, a message came up on the product page, saying this would work with ALL of my kindle fires. Not the new one! I'm keeping it as I have 3 older models that it does work with. Took off one star for the misinformation. Why does Amazon only supply a short dinky cable in the first place with the Kindle purchase?
This product was a nice change of pace from previous faulty charger purchases. Fit with my device's charging port, and was long enough to extend to the nearest outlet.
The Micro end doesn't go all the way into the power slot, and it's not secure; it wiggles around and won't charge. Being on a limited budget, I've purchased 4 previous cheaper power cords for my Fire 8 HD Tablet, but either the micro end of the cord doesn't fit into the charging port snuggly and wobbles around, keeping my tablet from charging, or they just didn't supply power to my device at all. This has kept me from using my tablet for several months. I finally broke down and purchased the Amazon Recommended power cord for my Fire Tablet, and now this new one won't fit snuggly into the power slot either. There's no Technical support for this charging cord and no one to talk to about this issue, so I had to ask for a refund. I NEED A POWER CORD SO i CAN USE MY TABLET. The "Refund" is being given as a Credit to Amazon, but their cords, and all others I've tried don't work, so this Credit is useless for this issue, and so is my Fire Tablet 8 HD. I am so frustrated I'm ready to scream, and there's no other options for me. This is not acceptable.
