I use the charger from my cell phone, LG Rumor Touch, for my PRS-350. It also takes the same USB cable as the phone so I don't have to do any swapping between the phone or the reader, and they work perfect.

Check out baggalini totes, messenger bags and purses, they have some very light weight, smaller ones available that can double as cross-body or waist use.

I found a good selection at eBags.com, and just ordered one for the summer, when I'll no longer have huge pockets in vests and jackets for my reader and really don't want to have to hold it constantly to take with anywhere.

I've given in and use a fishing waistcoat with loads of pockets - brilliant.

This is one statement that may get me in trouble, but it is true...

Ah - perfect!

Unfortunately one would need the dreamed of remote control to keep one's hands warmly under the covers.
Ahh remote controlled Ebook readers or better yet, voice controlled ebook readers.
We are so spoiled by the current technology, but yet I want more.

My preference is always going to be jackets or vests with lots of pockets, I absolutely hate carrying a purse. I have a couple of Scottevest jackets that I really love (Windbreaker and Jacket/Vest), but I'm afraid that even the cooler vest only without the sleeves will be too hot to wear in summer here so will be forced to the small purse/body bag at that point. Nothing ruins a nice long walk for whatever reason, just walking, shopping (which I also hate), more than lugging a purse with you hanging uncomfortably and heavily on your shoulder.

Hi all ! I have a PRS-650 and am perfectly happy with it !

But I'm a bit fed-up to allways have to have my PC running to charge my reader...

Do you think I can safely use my Iphone wall-charger (thru USB cable) to charge my reader ?

I read in 2 posts above (#210 and #211) that people used other wall-chargers without problem, so I wonder...

Thanks in advance for any advice !

I have used my Nokia N900 charger to charge my PRS-350. I don't know about the iPhone charger. Just look at it's specs, if they are about 5 V / 1400 mA you should be fine. Just for the record: When using a charger you won't see the big "charging" screen. Only a small arrow pointing into the battery symbol in the lower corner of the screen and the red light on the power slider will light up.

Haaa... so funny to get a -fast-answer from someone in the same little country !

Thank you very much for the info... thing is, I don't even know the iPhone specs: electronic/electricity is not my cup of tea, I'm only a "basic" user...

Anyway, I guess it should do... I'll try later and we'll see...

Have a good day !
