You MAY want to have it, but probably you do not NEED it. Technically, it would help you to charge your Kindle, but there may be an easier solution not involving adding the weight of this appliance to your luggage. It all depends on the charger which you are going to use in Europe to charge your Kindle. As far as I recall, all Kindles we have in my family came with "universal" chargers, that is, multivoltage ones, that can handle voltages from 110V to 240V. If your charger is a multivoltage one, then only thing you really need is an adapter (to be able to plug a charger into an European outlet). You MAY want to have it, but probably you do not NEED it.

I used it in Italy and France not in Spain not so sure about the wall outlets in Spain. If your Device/s charger is made for US then yes you would need it. it is a good hardy unit, it served me well. Using a regular power strip for US connected to this I charged three cell phones one GPS a tablet and a camera battery charger at the same time,this was done over night for next day usage, I did this for twelve days in a row; it worked very well. I do not think you can use it with anything with heating elements like an Iron made for US a curling iron or a hair dryer.

I don't personally have a Kindle but we did take our Nook and all we needed was a standard adapter so our plug would fit the European plugs. These converters kept overheating and would stop charging so they didn't work at all for us. Luckily we didn't need them.

Oh! Sorry I don't have the Kindle HD, but I have done with my Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Tab 10.2. In my opinion you would have no problem with your Kindle HD.

We used in Portugal & Italy to charge Android phones. We also used the Amazon Kindle EU Power Adapter w/USB connector to charge our phones.

This will not plug directly into the Kindle Fire HD since both the large and small versions only have micro USB ports and not USB Standard Type A (regular rectangular plug). You might be able to find a cable to adapt down to micro USB, but it would probably be easier to just load your files to a computer and transfer to your Kindle via a standard USB to micro USB cable (same cable you'd use to charge your Kindle). The Sandisk MobileMate is intended to allow your computer to read SD cards if it doesn't already have a SD card port. I have to use an USB extension cord because of it's width it doesn't fit into my computer's front USB ports.

If it is a universal mini usb like on a camera yes. If it is different, and I think they are unique to the Kindle, then no. Maybe Amazon could answer this better.

but of course...just remove the usb from your kindke wall charger and plug it in the car charger when you're driving so when you get to the salon your kindle is ready to go. :-)

Yes. You will need the maps for Europe. Below is a list of areas covered in Europe. If you can not specify what region you want when ordering, you will just connect your device to your computer and download the maps you require via the Tom Tom homepage. the As far as the technology working it is a GPS so it is operating on an array of satellites so it really doesn't matter where you are on earth.

Yes, I used my kindle hd a/c adapter as well as my nokia cellphone a/c adapter, both worked just fine. I've even charged with the same USB cables in my 12 volt charger in my vehicle. Of course with an usb adapter for the 12 volt.

Actually, I do believe that Kindle can't be used outside the USA. You might want to check with Amazon about that before buying one if you're going to use it overseas!

I am sorry, we did not use it with a kindle fire hd...but it works GREAT with an iPad and MAC computers. I would write to the company. They are very responsive to questions.

I did not take a laptop when I went to Italy but used it with my kindle and my phone.

It should work fine with anything that uses a USB type charging cord. I just checked my Kindle Fire Charger and verified it does have a USB end so will use this device to charge my Kindle, iPhone and iPad while in the UK.

Don't think you need it. It worked to charge iPhone & iPad in France, no problem.

Hi Maria, you can bring it but you'll still need to get the proper adapter (also called 'converters'). While you;re on the Amazon shopping page, do a Search and I'm sure you'll be able to find one. Enjoy Europe!!

I'm not really sure, but we used these adapters while in Seville, Spain for our Iphones, Kindle and Acer laptop. No problems at all. Our daughter also used these during her semester abroad there without incident.

Yes,very well. we used both of ours throughout Europe, so we would not harm our 2 iPads in their current. they are great for iPads. full charge will charge a 20% iPad and 20% iPhone at the same time. i used it also on our kindle fire hdx and Nokia phone and worked great too. used Europe current with adapters to recharge, better to lose a 50 dollar charger than a thousand dollar iPad. you'll be pleased.

It depends what you want to use it for. Since it has a Micro-B USB connector, it will fit in the Kindle's port and work as any standard USB cable. But the primary use for a USB OTG cable like this is to connect a USB drive to a smartphone (the reason I got it). That won't happen with the Kindle. It's USB port is apparently "crippled" in the sense that it can't act as a USB host.
