Worth noting that only the first Kindle, released in 2007, used a proprietary charger, and plenty of devices used proprietary chargers at the time. All of them since have had USB charging.
- jay_kyburz 1y agoI don't think that's true, I had several kindles and it was a paper white that looked like it was micro USB, and charged fine on an alternate cable, but would not do direct USB connection on anything but the kindles own cable.
- delecti 1y agoI'm pretty sure that that's incorrect. I worked at Amazon, on Kindles, and we used retail units with whatever random USB cables we could scrounge up, on all of the various Kindles (fire and eink). I also can't find anything on google mentioning it, and just tested with my own (non-Amazon) cable on my own retail paperwhite from 2015. You may have just had a cable without functioning data lines.
