Is this just a charging cable? I have downloaded ebooks to my laptop and would like to transfer them to my Kindle Fire; will this work for that?

Yes and no. Yes, it will work, but it's a very thin cable so it's also very slow. If you haven't purchased yet, I'd recommend the Mediabridge cable. It's only $6, and both charges and transfers data MUCH faster. I've used both, and just keep this one as a backup. BTW if you books are PDF files, they'll show up in the Docs tab, not the Books tab. If they're Kindle books, you can also just redownload them on your own or a friends wireless setup or at an AT&T; hotspot (McD's, Starbucks, etc.) Amazon lets you download the same book multiple times without extra charge. Just touch Books, then Cloud. All your Amazon books should be there. Just touch the book to download it. (Sorry if you already know all this.) Yes and no.

Sorry, I haven't tried this for my Kindle Fire, however I have charged my new iPad Mini and it worked great! I do use it all the time for my iPhone 5 and it also is great for that.

No; the cable's sole purpose is to be able to plug things into the desired item (I'm assuming your desired item is a kindle). As an example, you can charge another phone using your kindle's battery or you can transfer files to your kindle from another device. Which are the two primary function I use this cable for. I also use the cable to plug my Samsung phone into the printer to directly print documents I have saved on my phone.

If you have a USB cable to connect to it. My wife used it to charge her Kindle.

Yes it charges my Kindle Fire. Comes with a wall plug that has two USB ports and a USB cable that has (3) USB Micro (kindle and some phones) , an Ipod classic and newer Ipod Touch charging connectors. I found the lengeth of the cable too short and instead found a small (make sure it is small) utility strip and installed it inside and then added more chargers.

this is a standard micro HDMI to HDMI male connector. If your device has a micro HDMI female connector, then this should work. I use it on my Nexus 10 and on a first generation Kindle Fire and it works great.

It works off the power from the usb connector to the tablet. It might not be making good contact or fits loose to the tablet. I had tho\is problem before with the charger for a kindle fire I had. it wouldn't fit correctly and would not charge. Move it around when connected to see if it works when you do this. If it does then that would be the problem. But I haven't had any issues with it. Hope this helps.

I see that Jonathan says that it will not charge a Kindle Fire. He is completely mistaken. This will most definitely charge a Kindle Fire.

I have the exact same problem no matter what charger I purchase. I've spent anywhere from $5 to $30 for a charger. The longest my charger has ever worked has been about a month. It just won't hold in a charger. As much as I love my kindle fire, I think I may just have to go with either a small laptop or an iPad. Good luck!

Yes, I own a Kindle Fire Hd and this works with it. There also another answer about this stating "this cord is so thin that it will take a long time to charge a tablet", this is false and has nothing to do with how something charges at this scale. A typical wall charger charges at 1000 milliamps, a Kindle Fire can be charged using the special charger(that's sold separately) which charges at 2000 milliamps, I have used this cord using the special charger charging at 2000 milliamps.

The cable is for a standard USB port. The Kindle uses a micro USB. Its possible to switch the cable for micro USB cable, but I don't know if the voltage is the same.

I just bought one (Fev.2014) and even though had problems with the cable, once I replaced it for original Kindle wire it worked normally and this includes to get a little warm while charging. It charges my Kindle really fast. It has a 2000mA, so it is suppose to charge yours fast enough. If it is not... it has to be damaged. Regards, aguilajal1950

This isn't a charging cable. You can use it to connect a tablet or camera to your TV as long as your TV has HDMI inputs and your tablet/camera has a Micro HDMI output. I use it to hook my Kindle Fire HD up to my TV to watch movies on Prime.

Hello from Mediabridge,The USB port on the computer provides .5A which is much lower than the 1.8A that the Kindle charger provides. So if your Kindle is powered on when plugged into the computer, then you will not notice a charge at all. If you power off the Kindle, the computer will charge it very slowly.

Yes it will charge your kindle, and they send a variety of connectors including one that fits the Kindle.

I'm not sure I understand your question.... if you are asking if the Kindle comes with a power cord, not exactly. We have two (2) 1st gen Kindle Fires, and each came with a charger that plugs into the wall and into the mini USB port of the Fire. I also own a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, which also comes with the charger, but the charge cube is detachable from the USB cable. This way, the cable can easily be used for "side loading" of books onto the Fire HDX from your laptop. Now your question comes to me as the owner of a Gateway NV570P08u laptop. It also came with a power cord and charging block, just like any other laptop. If your question is about the laptop, and it did not come with this power cord assembly, then you have a VERY incomplete shipment.

Wow - I can't imagine why not. Are you sure it's the charger and not your cable or Kindle? What happens and what have you tried so far?
