Q. The charger is its original USB cord and a USB to wall plug in thing from Staples. I got it for Christmas, and it was acting fine until a few days ago. It started to not want to charge unless it was pushed in and held in the charger exactly right, and it kept charging on and off while I always kept the charger in the kindle. The battery runs out really fast too. Like 1 1/2 hours. But the charger just isn't charging it right anymore, and I can't get it to charge right now. Any advice?
A. Looks like either the charging port or the USB plug goes wrong. You get to have them either one fixed...
There's some discussion about problems on charging the Kindle or battery issues here as well. It can't solve the slot broken problem, but if it's other problem it should help. The discussion is for the Kindle Fire, but the concept should apply for other Kindle models:

Probably you need to get the charger from Amazon, the one designed for the Kindle device.
Kindles?????????????
Q. what extra equipment will i need to buy if I buy one (e.g adapter, case, kindle light..)??
how do you buy the books?
Is it just like when you download music from your computer to your phone?,
can you list me websites where I can get free books please!
and any extra information?
would you recommend one?
doesn't it hurt your eyes, or is it just like an actual book?
does it make you feel unsecure that you dont actually own the actual book? and if the kindle broke moneys worth of books would be lost?
what kindle would you recommend/ has the most features (i prefre touch screen) and has the most storage for books
what can you do on the kindle, e.g bookmark books? can you bookmark more than one book?
every answer will be appreciated, if you can answer all these questions i will give you best answer! :D
also what of the books would you recommend?
A. Hi
I have one and I LOVE IT!
It doesn't hurt your eyes because it works on as normal books, which means if you're in a dark room you cannot read, because there is no screen light for you to read, which leads to no eye damage :)
The latest kindle, I'd recommend the 6 inch one, like the one I have because it's practical and comfortable to hold.
My first kindle broke...I broke it, because I was careless, so you should be careful not to toss it around or use it harshly because to be frank, it is a bit delicate when it comes to that.
I get my books at www.smashwords.com, some are free, some are supposed to be bought. I'd recommend you to read the The Queen's Blade series, it will cost you about $30 but it's worth it.
The charger comes with the kindle. Get a kindle holder, a kindle bag or anything you can afford. I have a kindle protector, a simple one like the ones you put on Blackberry's back.
Amazon does replace your kindle for free if it breaks, but that means the warranty will be no longer functional at that point.
As for getting the books, it's very simple. You either connect to the internet and get the books to come at your kindle from the book site you'll be using and when connected to the PC it will open a window and you'll be able to drag and drop any book/song/image you like at the specified folders :)
This is the one you're asking for : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051VVOB2/ref=famstripe_kf
But I'd recommend a simpler one like the 3G one, so you won't get caught up in other things rather than reading.
As for books.....Be prepared.....Go:
Must read :
The Queen's Blade
Harry Potter
The DaVinci Code
Angels and Demons
The Lost symbol
Water for elephants
The Hunger Games
Veronica decides to die
The Alchemist
11 minutes
Sapphire
A thousand splendid suns
Kite runner
And many others :P But this is the kind of literature I prefer and I think you'll enjoy reading it :)
Oh and Yes you can bookmark books. Kindle automatically lets you read from the last read page, so you won't lose track.
As for feeling secure for not owning the book. I'm a bookworm and at first I felt kind of silly going around reading e-books instead of print ones, but now I feel fine and I just love it. I read more than 5 hours a day, considering school and everything and I seriously recommend one.
Cheers! Have a great time and get one AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Kindle fire charger?
Q. I just bought a kindle fire at a yard sale. For 140.00 it came with 2 cases. And a charger. The charger isn't charging. It says lg on the charger. It looks like a phone charger. We messages the lady who sold it to us and she says that is the charger she used but it isn't working. What should I do. Did your come with a charger like this. It's only been used 3 times. Thanks
A. Mine was not an LG charger but you can use any cell phone charger-type thing if you can find one with the same port. If you dont have one you can just buy a kindle charger online on ebay, amazon or something like that.
