USB-C is simply a form factor for a port, one which has only advantages compared to MicroUSB.
Your observation is valid in that USB-C frequently comes with a high power draw for charging batteries. When one isn't using a small solar panel, it's generally better to charge as fast as is compatible with battery health, so that's no bad thing.
But a Kindle which was aftermarket modified to use USB-C would have the same power requirements, just with a durable and bidirectional port. I encourage anyone making a device now to use USB-C, Micro doesn't have advantages and should be deprecated. We'll be stuck with it for a decade+ as it is, we should strive not to prolong the frustration.

- eternityforest 5y agoIt's even worse than Mini. USB-C is the one port I'll probably never complain about seeing. I was suspicious of the dynamic voltage selection when it first came out, but it has proven itself to be extremely reliable. Micro HDMI(And even full size HDMI) are also pretty awful.
- cultofmetatron 5y agoalso, the current kindles use usbc now. now if only apple would update the airpods..
- samatman 5y agoThe lightning system is limited compared to USB-C and I won't miss it when it's finally gone. But it's a perfectly cromulent connector, which Micro never was.
