    ORIGINAL POWER CORD IS DEFECTIVE!

    I have had my Nook Color for only a few months, and the power cord is already separating from plug-in. The man at B & N told me that lots of people are having the same trouble. If this is so, I think you should furnish free replacements until you correct the problem. We are caught between the rock and the hard place -- the Nook won't work without the charger, and I have gotten very used to having it at hand when I need it. In addition to the fact that I put out a lot of money for the Nook Color, I don't have a lot of extra money to waste since I am retired and living on a pension. PLEASE HELP!

    nook color

    I have a nook color and have had to replace the charging cord 3 times in the year since receiving it. They really need to fix the problem. It breaks at the part that plugs into the nook itself.I would highly recommend it,if this problem were fixed.

    Works great.

    Not sure what's up with all of the negative reviews on this adapter. It worked just fine on my Nook STR (Simple Touch Reader).

    In fact it's so simple, I'm amazed anyone can have trouble with it. Are you guys trying to eat it or something?

    I ordered this in December still haven't received it 3 months later even though I've made several contacts and have been told it would be shipped right away. Why offer something you can't deliver?

    Defective charger connector

    Granted electronic parts are fragile however, the point of contact on the charger is poorly constructed and as most of the other reviews state, this stops working soon after it is purchased. My problem is this, since the cord is detachable from the charger, why not just sell a replacement cord that reattaches to the charger. At $20 to replace the charger and cord, I find this to be deceptive and manipulative.

    The charger cord for my nook color stopped charging. Apparently this is a very common problem that B&N has decided not to address. I would like to remind them that they have serious competition out there. Many times I have searched for a title in the Nook shop, only to find it at Amazon .. .. I feel no customer loyalty to a company that disregards its customers so blatantly. If my cord doesn't arrive in a timely manner, Kindle here I come !!!

    This will be my forth purchase of a nook charger. The store doesn't even carry them anymore for the Color (which I bought 14 months ago). I had to spend $27 on a car charger that has the right adapter and then they gave me a base that they don't even know if it works or not. My kids each have one of these so now I'm purchasing another one to stop the fighting. Seriously, I will not invest in nook again. I get that the HD is the "new thing" but my "old thing" isn't even 18 months old and not everyone upgrades the minute the next thing is out. B&N should have had a recall on this and replaced the Colors. Another misstep.

    I have never been so frustrated with a product as much as I am with my Nook Color's charger.  I have been through 4 cords.  The design is such that the metal piece that you insert into the Nook snaps and you're unable to charge anymore.  No cord has lasted more than 4 months.  I'm ready to trash it and buy an iPad.

    I have had my Nook since last Christmas. Use it once a week. My charger has already fallen apart. Its very flimsy and I would not recommend this product due to the plugs to charge this. Its rediculous that you spend $200 and use it in the car once a week when on trip.... The plugs are shotty.. the bad thing is I took my other companies back to get a Nook... I made a wrong decision!! Poor quality in your accessories!!!

    Poor design. For what I have spent on replacement chargers due to the tip breaking off, I could have purchased another Nook. The work great while they last.

    This is my third power charger ordered. The first one came apart at the connection to the Nook. The second one broke at the same place and came apart. I hope Nook has a better on this time.

    This is really irritating.  I've had my NOOK for just a few months and the charger plug in (the prong part that connects into the NOOK ) is broken, unusable.  Now I have to wait for Barnes and Nobel to send me a new one, which I have to pay for!!  I was going to buy a new NOOK HD for my granddaughter, but not now.

    the charger itself was of very poor quality. Similar to everyone

    the charger itself was of very poor quality. Similar to everyone else, it had a bad connection and was often hard to get out of the nook. Within weeks my charger completely broke. I was very disappointed, but thought it was only my charger. I then read the reviews and saw it was not only me, rather so, it was all nook color chargers. I was at a loss of hope and concluded that I would end up spending on a great deal of chargers if I kept my nook. I decided to call Nook Support (1888-843-2665) and they were extremely helpful. They were very sympathetic and even offered to send me a new charger -- FREE OF CHARGE! The mere knowledge of how helpful the Barnes and noble staff is, is the reason why I'm choosing to stay with my nook. I love the nook and love how helpful everyone was.

    If you could rate at less than 1 star or a negative I would. I am on my third charger for my Nook color. I would think this would be a huge PR problem for B & N as EVERYONE seems to be having issues with these chargers. Though i love my Nook I would not recommend to a friend that they purchase it due to this continuing issue. Fool me once, shame on you. . . Fool me twice shame on me! I have been cheated 3 times. In a world where the consumer has tremendous power to impact the popularity of a product through social media this would sem to be a huge PR problem. When is B & N going to wake up and realize they can't keep selling this shoddy product which renders the Nook unusable after a few months.

    I also have been having so much trouble with my Nook Color Charger. I have had my nook over a year but had to replace the charger twice. Then when I try to order a new one Barnes and Nobles in-store is sold out and so is on-line.
    How am I supposed to use my product when I can't charge it! I love my Nook but all these charging problems are maddening

    I needed an additional charger since mine was lost. I found that any USB to micro USB cable will work. Also needed a car charger for our NOOK Color (We have three) Please do not buy aftermarket units for wall or auto chargers they don't have enough amperage to charge the NOOK batteries. Use only B&N chargers, We have purchased a new car and it is equipped with a USB port so we can charge as we ride.

    My original charger was a chew toy of my puppy. So I bought a new one. It worked great for a few months, but than the trouble started. I tried charging it, but it said "Not Charging" in the status box. It was charging actually, but It took 2 days. Now its not charging AT ALL. I''m going to buy a new one because I love my NOOK!!! I hope this one works!!!
