I have the Solio, but i do not have the Reader.

Regarding the Solio: You need lots of light to charge it. It has a contained 1600 mAH battery inside, which can be charged either by its solar panels or with an AC Wall plug. It comes with a few adapters, of which one is a USB plug. So it should fit right into the Sony reader. It needs about 8 hours of sunlight to be completely charged.

I use the reader sometimes to charge the iLiad, which works, but only gives about 3/4th of a charge. It should give the Sony a full charge and still have some juice left. I will try this with the CyBook soon, which should be compareable to the Sony.

The Solio will not let you charge a device, while charging the Solio. But that shouldnt be a problem.
