I was being a bit of a smartass, and in truth I could follow elcreative's post just fine, and thank you for taking the time to write it. (but it is also true that I know nothing about how electricity works, despite the fact that I am literate, have a secondary degree, and indeed work with computers for a living, including some programming).

But it is also true that no one on this post has commented on what happens if the charger is rated *too high.* For example, elcreative, you say that 500-2000mA should work fine. What if the charger is rated 3000mA? Does such a charger exist? Would it fry the device, or would the device "take what it needs?"

As it turns out, the question is academic *for me* because my husband's micro-USB charger says 500mA on it. The battery on my reader is at 4 bars at the moment, so I'm not going to try it just yet.
