However this isn't as complex as it appears, with only a handful of different types of plug sockets used in the world this article tells you exactly what to pick up in advance to power the Kindle Fire in Seychelles. This page contains step by step instructions which shows exactly what you'll need to supply power to the Kindle Fire when travelling to Seychelles by using their 240 volt 50Hz Type G Seychellois power outlet, the Seychellois will use a 13 amp plug for charging.
