Charging Kindle (U.S. & International Wireless) Outside the United States
To
most countries,
Kindle ships with a U.S. power adapter and a Kindle
micro-USB cable. You can charge your Kindle by connecting it to your
computer via the Kindle micro-USB cable or by connecting it to a wall
socket using the Kindle micro-USB cable and the Kindle U.S. power
adapter plug with a third-party physical plug adapter (adapts the two
prong Kindle U.S. power adapter to the local power outlet). The light
on your Kindle next to the USB socket will appear yellow when charging
and change to green when Kindle is fully charged.
Note on
Third-party charging devices (not included with your Kindle):
Third-party charging devices, power converters, USB wall chargers, and
other charging hubs are not supported nor recommended for your Kindle.

If
you choose to charge your Kindle by connecting it to a wall socket
using the Kindle micro-USB cable and
Kindle U.S. power adapter with a
third-party physical plug adapter, please read and follow all safety
instructions provided by the third-party physical plug adapter's
manufacturer and make sure the third-party physical plug adapter fits
the Kindle U.S. power adapter tightly and without gaps.

Charging from Your Computer via Kindle Micro-USB Cable
When
using the Kindle micro-USB cable to charge your Kindle via your
computer, charging time will normally take 4 to 6 hours. To charge your
Kindle from a computer via Kindle micro-USB cable:
* Connect Kindle directly to a USB port on your computer. Do not connect through a hub, keyboard, or monitor.
*
Connect Kindle to a computer plugged into a power outlet. We recommend
keeping your computer plugged into a power outlet while charging your
Kindle. Your computer may not supply sufficient power * to the USB port
if it is not plugged in.
* Make sure your computer stays on during the entire charging process. Disable Standby, Hibernate or Sleep mode, if necessary.
*
Verify Kindle recognizes the USB connection. You can verify your Kindle
is charging if you see the USB drive mode screen. If you do not see
this screen, unplug and reconnect your Kindle. You may also need to
select an alternate USB port.

You
can use your Kindle while it is connected and charging from your
computer. For most operating systems, you simply need to select
"unmount", "eject" or "safely remove" Kindle using your computer's file
browser without actually disconnecting the USB cable. Kindle will then
exit USB drive mode and display the Home screen. You'll see a lightning
bolt on the battery status icon that indicates Kindle is still charging.
If
you use the Windows Vista operating system on your computer, using the
"Safely Remove Hardware" command will not work. Use the "Eject" option
instead. Click on the Windows Start button on your computer and select
"Computer" from the options. Right-click on the Kindle drive icon and
select "Eject" from the pop-up menu.
