The Readerdock FireStation acts as both a speaker and a charger for the Kindle Fire E-Book Reader.
The dock connects to the Kindle Fire via a USB cable and begins to charge the reader as soon as the device is plugged into an electrical outlet. The speaker system can be used with or without headphones for listening to the content on the reader. Even when docked, files can be transferred between the computer and the Kindle. Readers can also adjust the device to their optimal viewing position as the dock swivels both horizontally and vertically.
The company didn't leave out Nook Color users and it also created the N-Station dock for those who don't use a Kindle.
