So yes, $450 is a reasonable price for the "deluxe edition" based on $350 for the device.

Jon,
The Cybook uses an AC to USB power adapter. The US model has fold-out/fold-flat prongs and fits quite comfortably in the palm of my hand. I've found a half-dozen of them on eBay for around $8 including shipping. And the USB-to-mini-USB cable costs much less than $10 in all but the most ridiculously overpriced electronics store - Radio Shack comes to mind.
And Sony tosses the much heavier and more complex charger in with the PRS-500. (Although I admit that the 505, with it's charge-from-the-computer USB capability eliminates that need.) I've attached images of the AC adapter.
