    uni. usb less than $5 at Wal-mart

    I bought a universal usb car charger at wal-mart for less than $5. It works just fine with my original cord that came with my nook.

    Works perfectly for both my Nook Color and my Nook

    I guess I got one of the few that were manufactured, and very happy I did. It works very well for both the Nook Color and Nook. In fact, using the standard Nook charging cord, I've charged cell phones with it also. ZERO problem.

    I'm very happy with it.

    Use your car phone charger

    Electronic devices standardized the charging ports to the micro USB so any car charger should work on the Nook. But check to verify that your charger is compatible with the Nook. I have Verizon and it is compatible for the B&N Nook. Why buy another charger when you already have one for your phone.

    Want the charger only!!

    Already have the charger cord that my NOOKcolor came with (and an extra one). I just need the actual charger. Shouldn't that be only a few bucks?

    so disappointed

    the one thing I am so disappointed with in the Nook Color is the cable. The plastic pieces on the ends break off easily. I bought my NC in March and have gone through 3 cords already.

    Thank goodness...I cannot go without my Nook Color and now I can charge it in the car or listen to the music that is on it! LOVE BN!!! I ordered it on line to pick up at the store and it was confirmed and waiting for me in 20 minutes!

    Nook Color car charger

    I need only the charger for the car. I already have the cord. Why is this packaged in such a way as to force me to buy not only an extra cord for my nookcolor, but a cord for the nook reader that I do not even have and cannot use. Bad marketing move. It is things like this that have people recommending the A Kindle over the Nookcolor. Very dissappointing and forceing me to look elsewhere for nook color items.

    radio shack

    I went to radio shack and bought a converter car charger for the Nookcolor. It converts ur electric chargers. It was a litte more money than the NookColor car charger but I can use it will other electric chargers. Have so many cords that it is driving me crazy. Why can't they make them all universal?

    Car Charging Kit for Nook and Nook Color

    For those of you that were unable to find the Nook or Nook Color car charging kit -- check over at Amazon. They have several IN STOCK. But if you can just wait a week or so I am sure Barnes and Noble will get some in.

    I'm just sayin...

    Whether I buy it from Amazon or wait for them to be in the store at Barnes and Noble matters not to me. All I have to say is I LOVE MY NOOK COLOR!!!!!

    Beware of design flaw.

    I used my Nook car charger yesterday and discovered what I think is a design flaw. It charged my Nook. There was no problem there, but when I tried to take the charger out of my car's cig lighter socket the cord came out but the plug part stayed in the socket. It sat so deeply in the socket that I could not get a grip enough to pull it out. It finally took a pair of pliers. to pull it out by grabbing the outside of the plug and the slot for the USB cord. I will think twice about using this in my car again. I think the money spent on this was wasted if I have to worry about getting it unplugged when I am finished using it. I think it should be made with the plug part to be long enough that fingers can get a grip and pull it out of the lighter socket.

    very disappointed

    This charger is so hard to remove from the port that my husband had to use pliers to get it out! I think the engineers could have done something better than the slight lip they have on the sides to grasp onto. I had to rate it, so it got one star, for it does charge. If someone has had better luck charging their nookcolor, please let me know!

    refuse to buy car charging kit.

    I refuse to buy this. All I need is the charger because I already have the cord on my wall charger. No wonder the landfills are full of electronic cords. Way to look out for the environment B&N. At least the phone companies have standardized their cords now.

    Hard to find, but a great accessories.

    I had one ordered on line before xmas and the order was cancelled. However, I found one at a local barnes and noble store. And it works great. I do have a question, is the cable for the car charger and the UC cable interchangable?

    Nook Color is totally useless for international businss travelers.

    I find no airplane charging kit, for international travel, for Nook Color.
    I find no battery which charges Nook Color for more than 8 hours.
    I find to "power Monkey charger" e.g. Magellans' Travel supplies, for the Nook Color, with power reserve, four adaptor plugs, a 110-240V adaptor and connectors, for a Nook Color.
    I should have spent $500 on books to put in my luggage for traveling, instead of wasting $ 500 on a Nook Color for traveling.
    Does Barnes and Noble live in the Dark Ages?
    How poor is Barnes and Noble Customer Service. . . it is soooo poor that no rich or poor person should waste $500 on the Nook Color

    No need for this if you have a car cell phone charger

    You don't need to buy this as most car charges are micro USB so you should be able to use that. Silly to spend the money

    Alternate far more dependable

    I tried a friend's charger hoping to have better luck with it than she did, but it had to be returned. Then tried a universal charger advertised to work with the NOOK; it didn't with my NOOKcolor. What did work! was a $9.95 Dual USB Car Phone Charger by Wireless that I purchased at WalMart. It works with the charging cable that comes with the NOOKcolor.
