is the kindle fire charger the same as the blackberry playbook charger?

Yes, they are both MicroUSB chargers. This charger will work with it, and may even charge faster than your OEM Kindle charger, depending on it's specs.

This charger is made by blackberry but supports most devices that require a 2.1 amp charge.

Yes, definitely. I own one of those as well and have done so. Bear in mind however that this charger has a capacity meant for cell phones. It will charge a Kindle Fire (I have the HD model that is currently $200) completely once and you may have enough left over to charge your phone once afterwards.

The power disc adapter, comes in four sizes: USB, mini-USB, micro-USB and Samsung connector plug. If the Kindle Fire can be charged from a connector of this size, it may work. What is the voltage and amperage from the current battery charger?

Yes!! I have a Kindle Fire HD and it works well. I also use it to charge my Blackberry:)

Yes. The only way I can charge my Kindle Fire is by putting something underneath the cord, before it goes on the Kindle. This puts pressure upwards on the cord and makes it work OK. I'm surprised that the Kindle has such a sloppy loose connection where the cord attaches. You would think Amazon knows about it. Why not have a connector like the ones that go into a laptop from the cord. Those never get loose. Just sayin...

Short answer = Yes, it will (I have the 1st gen Kindle touch with the e-ink screen and just plugged it in to verify for you). Longer answer = It'll charge faster than the stock Kindle charger because the stock charger's output is 500mA (.5 Amps) and this one has the 1 Amp (1000 mA) output and 2.4 Amp (2400 mA) output charge ports. Unsolicited advice = Don't do it. For two reasons- 1) If you look right above the charging port on the back of the Kindle, you should see "INPUT 5.25V MAX 500mA" meaning the maximum voltage rating for the Kindle's charging circuitry and battery type is 5.25 volts (standard USB output) and maximum current rating is .5 Amps- or HALF that of the lower power output of this charger- so there's a very real possibility that you could damage the Kindle. If you do damage it this way, Amazon most likely won't cover this damage under the warranty because it'll be obvious the circuitry was overloaded rather than failed as the result of a manufacturing flaw. 2) Power output and potentially damaged electronics aside, I can't recommend this charger. Whatever the hinge mechanism is inside this charger is apparently a very poor design. I've had it for maybe 3 weeks, folded and unfolded it POSSIBLY 8 or 9 times and the hinge is already lose enough that when plugged in, the slightest bump causes the charger to spark as the mechanism separates and re-contacts. At best, this is an annoyance because it means the charger could sit an an angle that keeps it from charging your device if the hinge never reconnects. At worst, it's a pretty significant fire hazard (I've stopped using mine and it's going in the garbage).

The one I received appears to be an OEM charger. It has the Blackberry logo/branding on it.

Your rite, kindle will not charge from the charger that come with it however it will charge from a A non usb wall charger[ charge comes in A or B. B won't work look at the tip of the charger to see

Unfortunately not owning a Kindle I can't speak from experience, however the Amazon site listing of the spec's for the Kindle Fire list a USB micro-B not mini-B connector as it's interface to a computer. The micro-b connector is much thinner than the mini-b, so this probably won't work.

There is no Playbook app yet, but here is a link on how too do it..http://crackberry.com/how-get-amazon-kindle-your-blackberry-playbook

Yes it is, I just now charged my kindle fire with the PLEMO to make sure my answer was correct. I hope that helps you.

Two ways. First, if the Kindle book is not DRM protected (controlled access), Playbook has a couple of book readers than can read them, the 99 cent one is called Reader for Epub and Kindle books. Second, Amazon has an app called the Kindle Cloudreader that supports the Playbook which will allow access to protected books. However, unlike the regular Kindle app it's not perfect and the user has to make a few adjustments to make it work. Hopefully one day, Amazon will release a full pledged Kindle app for the Blackberry Playbook since they already support the Blackberry smartphones.

No. The reason could be that the connector on the Kindle is loose or somehow not making a connection with the charger end.Does the charge indicator show it is charging while charger is plugged into the kindle?

No, this charger has only on port capable of charging a Kindle Fire, however, the rapid charger side works pretty fast. On a recent long road trip I'd charge my Kindle, while reading it, then a couple of hours later change and charge my husband's Ipad. The Ipad would trickle charge on the non-rapid charge port but it was so slow we never waited to see how long it would take. The Kindle would only charge on the rapid charge port.

I had inconsistent charges with the charger that came with my kindle as well as with another I ordered. I ordered this one and not only is it fast, it works great and I have had it several months.. It also charges my cell phone quickly and the long cord is a big plus! Hope it works well for you too.

It should, if you scroll down on the info page on Amazon for this product states it does not work on Kindle, Nook, Motorola Xoom and the Blackberry Playbook.

Yes. My daughter has one and it works fine. It is not as fast as the charger that came with the Kindle and of course it also depends upon how much sunlight you have. But it works great for camping and cycling.
