Charge and Power Up Your Kindle
To charge your Kindle, connect it to a wall socket using the cable and power adapter plug. The light on
your Kindle next to the USB socket is yellow when charging and green when Kindle is fully charged.
Third-party charging devices are not supported or recommended for your Kindle.
Charge from Your Computer via Kindle Micro-USB Cable
When using the micro-USB cable to charge your Kindle with your computer, your Kindle should charge
within six hours. To charge your Kindle from a computer via Kindle micro-USB cable:
Connect Kindle directly to a USB port on your computer. Do not connect through a hub,
keyboard, or monitor.
Connect Kindle to a computer plugged into a power outlet. We recommend keeping your
computer plugged into a power outlet while charging your Kindle. Your computer may not supply
sufficient power to the USB port if it is unplugged.
Make sure that your computer stays on during the entire charging process. Disable
Standby, Hibernate or Sleep mode, if necessary.
Verify Kindle recognizes the USB connection. You can verify your Kindle is charging if you
see the USB drive mode screen. If you do not see this screen, unplug and reconnect your Kindle.
You may need to select an alternate USB port.
