Hi,

Plenty of places (PBTech, DSE, etc) sell Micro-USB to USB-C adapters, with a female Micro USB to Male USB-C.

I've never managed to find one that goes the other way (i.e. female USB-C to Male MicroUSB), and it would be useful (for charging Kindle from USB-C based charger from my phone, for example).

Has anyone seen these for sale anywhere?

Using 2 adaptors is the only way I've made this happen. USB-C male to USB female, then a standard USB to micro cable into that.

I think the reason it's not produced as a stock cable is that micro USB can't take advantage of any of the USB-C improvements. Because of that, you're expected to use a legacy port for micro USB, snd start planning to upgrade your devices to USB-C / Thunderbolt.

Not sure how much luck you will have in NZ, but they are a thing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-USB-Type-C-Micro-B-Cable/dp/B01LONQ7R6/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=usb+c+micro+usb&qid=1589456477&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExTE81QzhFTEk4MDRRJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTM3MTg0Mlg0NEFSUUs1SEFWTiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDkwNDcwMkJZSU5DT01DOFFFQSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Thanks; hadn't looked there.

Although I may have to wait 124 weeks for delivery...

(My one recent offshore purchase from a US based company is still twiddling it's non-existing thumbs at JFK apparently; is been there about 4 weeks now)

Close; but that looks like two plugs; I want a micro plug but a 'c' socket....

Thanks for the suggestion, however.
