Amazon already includes this cable with the Kindle Fire 7″, the Kindle Fire HD 7″ and the Kindle Fire HD 8.9″. It’s also great to purchase as a back up for the office or to take with you on the go. For the peace of mind knowing Amazon designed this to work specifically with Kindle Fire, it’s worth the price.
The quality of this cable compared to the previous white USB cable is much better. This cable has a thicker jacket on the outside so hopefully overtime it will hold up much better. Data transfer speeds between the computer and the device are relatively quick. This cable is actually a bit shorter than the white cable even though both are supposed to be 5 ft. in length. Measuring both cables, the black cable is approx 5 ft. and the white cable is approx 5 ft. 9in. Overall, even though it is shorter, this cable is starting off to be a much better improvement than the previous white version of this cable.

Extremely Handy!,
Having recently received a Kindle Fire HD as a gift, I knew that hooking it up to my computer to charge it daily was not going to be convenient. That’s when I found this little jewel along with the Kindle Fire AC charger. And they both work like a DREAM!. My desk stays uncluttered and the cord allows me to keep the Kindle plugged in while I read in bed or listen to music. It’s well worth the price for the convenience it provides!

Does What It Was Made To Do,
The cable does speed up the charging of the Kindle Fire as opposed to the cables that are used with the regular Kindle. IMO, it shoud have been included with the purchase of the device, along with a plug/charger. Seems like everything is a la carte these days though.
