The US PRS-505 reader, and the UK wall wort will not pose any problems.

Using a US wall wort would be bad.

Aren't the PSP chargers 'universal' and designed to work on 110 or 220V, and 50-60 Hz? If so, a US wall wort would be fine.I don't have one on hand to check, but most such chargers are universal these days. The stock 500 charger is; I imagine the PSP charger would also be.
