You can use any micro usb cable to charge the nook (like those used on kindle or phones). The only problem is if it not a nook cable it charges very slowly. But if you keep plugged in all the time, it might charge up.

PS, Wal-Mart is a nook dealer and probably carries the nook color charging kit. You get a new cable and charging brick for $25. I got one a while back since the nook cables are so fragile and I wanted a spare.

if your running a custom rom it will charge connected to your computer, mine would only charge with the nook cable before now it charges with any micro usb

Nope, only Barnes and Noble carries the charger and even then not in most stores. It seems like an online only buy

The three different B&N's I have gone to in the last few months have all had specific Nook kiosks which had three different product showcase areas in each. One for Simple Touch, one for Color and one for Tablet. Each product showcase featured way more accessories than I wanted to catalog. After they warrantied my charging cable I grabbed a spare wall charger with cable to put in my laptop bag for $27 at the one I go to most often.

*And* just to test it out, I checked out the $20 Belkin 2.0A charger at Wally world. Works as needed with a B&N cable and will charge from 30 or so % to 100% using a standard cable given an appox. nine hour overnight, (plug it in before bed and grab it on the way out the door next morning).

Weird, I will have to try staples and do a double search at Barnes and nobles. I have tried best buy, target and walmart with no success.

I just bought a Nook Color Charging kit at Walmart today. $16.95 + tax. Total was $18.09 in Dublin Oh. Your Wally World experience may vary.

I can confirm this. Cowboom sent me a wall charger with one of the Nooks that looked similar to the Nook charger, but was not. It would not recognize it being plugged in on the stock software but once I put CM7 on it no problems.
