I am sorry if my comment upset you - no offence intended. The point that I was endeavouring to make, apparently not very well and I agree rather sarcastically, is that I don't think it's safe to presume that all contributors (or readers) of this forum know as much as you do about electricity, or current USB connector standards. As regards your presumption about any prejudice of mine, once again I accept that my point wasn't very well made. Actually, I was partly educated, lived and have worked in the US. Even though the majority of the contributors (or readers) of this forum appear to be located in the US (you haven't revealed your location), the PRS-n50s are of course marketed worldwide, so I don't think one should presume that all users will have encountered that type of USB connector before, say in connection with chargers for their cell (mobile, portable) phones. For example, my Nikon camera uses a similar tiny USB connector for data transfer, but whilst their thicknesses are the same, their widths are similar but slightly different.

I bought a dedicated charger from amazon.fr that cost me 8.10 EUR which is approximately 11.22 USD
