Hi. I am new to ereaders, and is currently waiting for a 650 to arrive by mail. I been reading about charging from mains, and as most people pointed out, Sony is charging ALOT of money for its 650 mains adapter.

Afew people mention that their standard micro usb adapter for mobile phones work when charging the 650. Can I just confirm that it will not fry the 650 or age the battery any faster? Would something like a standard Nokia charger like this work? It only cost £9.. way less than what Sony is charging for theirs.
