My PRS-600, which is also my first ereader ever, will arrive tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous about how to handle this device, especially the charging bit. Using the PSP charger won't fry the reader, sure, but would it hurt in the long run, considering that I'm plugging a 5.2V device into a 5V source? "It's working fine right now" is not good enough for me - I need to know if I'm unknowingly damaging my ereader or not. (Yeah, you can tell that I'm a newbie exited about her new toy

)

Also, does anyone know if 2000mA input current is better than 1000mA? What is the ereader's anyway? I can't seem to find this piece of spec online.

And one last thing, should I buy the Sony PSP charger or those generic chargers that are selling on eBay from China? They're cheap, which makes me happy, but cheap also has its price, I guess, so... please help?

Thanks a lot!!!
