Gomadic sent me a car charger made for something else instead of the Kindle 3g/wi-fi.
The charger I received from them has a female end instead of the custom male plug in for the Kindle.

I tried to delete the above post using Amazon's instructions but was unable to find the correct link to do this.
After Texting with a Gomadic Rep I found an attachment to the charger that I had misplaced that was sent with the charger. With this attachment the charger does fit my Kindle.
I apologize to Gomadic. Problem is solved.

My husband wondered why I would need a car charger for my Kindle when it has a long battery life and at first I contemplated the same thing. However, I also use my Kindle for audio books that I listen to in the car and it came in handy when I used it on a long road trip. So, for me it was a handy accessory for a low price.
Good product. I use my Kindle all the time and it's good to know that I can keep it charged, even on the go.
Like others have said, but it bears repeating: There are two bags in the larger blue bag that the charger comes in and both are necessary to connect one's Kindle. One bag is very small and is very easy to overlook (which I did until reading the reviews here). My advice to Gomatic is to include a slip of paper to the effect that there are two pages - the charger comes with no instructions - but a simple schematic would have solved the problem.
I enjoy listening to stories on my Kindle when we travel in our car. The chargers works great, and I don't need to be concerned about plugging the Kindle into an electrical outlet during our travel nights.

this makes using the kindle on a road trip so much easier then worrying about the loss
of using up the battery. Just think you can enjoy the kindle for much longer time.
Excellant piece of equipment. If you travel (and like to listen to your story),this charger ensures you have a charged kindle at all times.
So far, so good. Works as advertised. Works as I expected it to. Happy with the product and putting it to good use while traveling.
The Rapid Car / Auto Charger for my Amazon Kindle works perfectly, and is just what I needed. I take the Kindle on road trips, so I do want to be able to charge it in the car.
This product allows me to charge up while I am driving so I am never without the availability to read my Kindle. LOVE IT!!
