The specs should be on a label on the adapter in very small print.

You can try. If it doesn't supply enough current, you probably won't hurt the Sony. Voltage regulation will reduce the voltage when the current draw is beyond what the adapter can provide, like what you see when you try 1.2V rechargeable batteries in a device that *requires* 1.5V non-rechargeable alkaline batteries.
As I said in a post above, the Sony PRS-505 could be charged by the computer-connected USB's 500 mA in most states of discharge. But not when the 505 was in a very low discharge state. In those cases, we had to use the Sony (or PSP) barrel-connector A/C adapter that provided about 2 A (2000 mA). Sounds like your husband will test this on his Sony.
