Default USB Wall Plug

Thinkgeek recently reviewed a replacement wall plug that can supply up to 2.1 amps over a USB port.

Seems like a perfect fit for where you charge your nook color!

In a similar vein, ThinkGeek also has this, which lets you draw USB power from an outlet that has something else plugged into it. Up to 1 amp.

I'm wary of the 1 amp output, though that looks useful for when you're on the go or travelling.

The 2.1 amp permenant household solution means I can create a charging dock in my office with very little fuss.

I got one of these for my birthday this January. Really works but I still think the NC charges faster directly from their dedicated wall plug.

Yes, I'm not sure why but some people get 2 amp usb chargers that charge their nook at the same time as the stock charger.

However, my experience has been not the case.

The cable itself is known to be important, but the charger also has something about it that's unique or made differently to allow full 2 amp charging.

There are usb inter-connects that people sell that allow charging from lower amp chargers, I'm wondering if this bypasses whatever check that keeps the nook from charging at 2amps on a nonstock charger.
