It is not. kindle enthusiasts were surprised Amazon neglected to put USV-C on their expensive flagship Kindle Oasis years ago.
For what it’s worth, the variance in behavior between USB-C cables is so large I almost prefer micro at this point.

- thesuitonym 5y agoI think the problem is that this device will come with a USB-C cable that won't be good for much beside charging a Kindle, but could be plugged into something that wants higher power. USB-C's greatest asset, that it is becoming truly a universal cable, is also kind of a problem--but probably less of a problem than the one it solves.
- bredren 5y agoYes this and also many of these types of devices won’t charge from say, an Apple TB3 cable.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoFWIW, my current Kindle is pickier about charging sources than any USB-C device I've ever owned. It absolutely refuses to charge via my alarm clock's USB port, which (with a USB-A to USB-C cable) will happily charge my headphones, portable battery, phones, and even my laptop (albeit very slowly)
