So here I was, with a $20.00 (+s&h!) Gomadic Charger in the mail for a Kindle 1 that no longer existed, and an incompatible (charging adapter wise) Kindle 3 on its way!
I immediately emailed Gomadic Customer Support, explaining the problem and asking how it can be remedied, because otherwise I'd reluctantly have to return the product (they have unconditional 30-day return policy).
To my agreeable surprise, they answered my email within a couple of hours of my sending it to them, and informed me they were sorry to hear of my broken Kindle, and that they had already mailed me the appropriate adapter so I could charge my new Kindle 3, all free of charge.
If that ain't the Rolls-Royce of customer support, I don't know what is.It works.... I put 4 fully charged 1600 MaH batteries into the charger and plug it into my 1560 MaH battery Droid X and don't even get one full recharge on the Phone before all the AA batteries are dead. How does that make sense what happened to "conservation of energy". Does that mean the charger is less than 25% efficient? Better than nothing in an emergency as I usually have a bunch of AA batteries and no access to AC or 12V DC when I am riding/camping/sailing or whatever. Just expected better.Flat out terrible...tried different new batteries and nothing. Charge light comes on and it looks great, but after being plugged into the phone all day nothing happened. Waste of time and money on my part.
