Yes, You Can Use This Charger On Kindle Fire Or iPad/iPad2!!!!!,
November 7, 2011 Amazonian Consumer - See all my reviews

This review is from: AmazonBasics Wall Charger with USB Outlet( 2.1 Amp Output) (Electronics)
Update 11-18-2011
This compact and foldable 2.1 A (2100 mA) charger can QUICKLY charge Kindle Fire or Apple iPad/iPad2 (you need a different cable for each one). It is NOT one of those "ordinary" USB chargers that outputs only 0.5 A of current.
The Kindle Fire requires just 1.8A of charging current, so this charger is fine (1.8 < 2.1). It is functionally the same as Apple's 10 Watt USB charger which outputs 2.1 A, so it is also suitable for charging the iPad.
You also need to buy a $6 AmazonBasics USB Cable - 2.0 A Male to Micro B (6 Feet / 1.8 Meters). Do not use one intended for your cellphone; it may not work.
The total cost is $16, still much cheaper than the dedicated Kindle charger which sells for $25. Apple's 10W charger costs $35.
You enjoy better utility with this...Read more

You'll need to buy extra cables to use this.

Perfect for iPad,

This review is from: AmazonBasics Wall Charger with USB Outlet( 2.1 Amp Output) (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This wall charger provides a high power USB port that's suitable for charging the iPad and other devices that need a lot of juice. It's about the same size as the iPad charger, and it just works. What more could anyone need?
-- Update --
We use PowerLine Internet adapters in our house and find that this charger severely reduces the data transfer speed when it is plugged in nearby (i.e., it is electrically "noisy"). You may not care if you don't use PowerLine Internet, but it's reduced the utility for us.
