Thanks for that Boo. My husband has had a Kindle for some time and we have just bought me a Kindle Fire------hasn't come yet! Are you pleased with yours? I can't wait to get mine!!
Amazon recommend the fast charger which costs about £20 but there is a slower charger costing less than a fiver which works fine with Kindle Fire.

You and me both Boo and I use mine in a similar way plus reading in bed.
