Ghee Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I don't think our Fires have USB. Well I mean I'm sure they don't, but I'm not on it so I can't obsessively check just to be sure ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginszoo Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 It has a mini-usb (same sie as a Blackberry charger), and it runs on Android OS, so it would need that software (I'm assuming that most things like this come with PC and/or Mac OS interfaces, but not usually others, so you'd need to look into this.)

higginszoo Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Not that it's a big deal, but it's called a micro usb. I'm guessing a mini might be something slightly different? We have a solar powered charger for devices and it has I believe 4 different sized USB type adapters on it. Could be ... I wonder if Radio Shack or somewhere like that would have an adapter set to convert one kind of USB to another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
