Is there a replacement power supply for the iBook available, preferably cheaper than the stock Apple version?

MCE Tech sells em for 40 bucks. I use them and they prety sturdy and work well. For 40 bucks each, you can buy 2!

I have this charger from Macally. Works great on iBooks and Powerbooks... very durable and compact.

I use an iGo Juice that has held up well thru much abuse.
Way more heavy-duty cord, altho not as light and portable. Has flexibility to convert with 10 tips.

Kensington has a similar (same?) one for sale:

I always thought the Apple cord was way too thin and very prone to breakage/shorting.
