505 to 650 old stuff any good?
Hi,
If I get a 650 will my 505 charger or cover work/fit? Thanks Lawrie |

Won't work.
Sold my old 505 + charger for that reason. |

Neither charger nor cover from 505 will work with the 650. Sony is changing the size specs with each new generation of readers so they can sell us all new accessories!

Actually, this is good news. The new model has one Micro-usb port used for data transfer and charging. You can use most micro-usb chargers that you have laying around. All three of my cell phone chargers work with it. I only need one charger when I travel.

You cannot use wall warts designed to work with Apple devices. Most cell phone type wall warts or micro-usb chargers will work.

thanks for asking that question. I'd like a 650 and I was wondering the same.
