Since the release of the Amazon Kindle<\/a> in 2007, the company upgraded this device to match the changing technology. Among the changes is the type of charger these devices use. As a result of the constant changes, it can be challenging to know the charger your Kindle uses, mainly if you misplaced it and want to replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kindle devices use USB 2.0 (micro-USB) and USB-C Chargers. All 10th generation and below Kindle devices use USB 2.0 chargers. On the other hand, the latest Kindle devices like paperwhite, Kids, and Signature editions use upgraded type C chargers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
