My wife has an iPod Touch and she got an AC USB charger for it. I tried this on the 505 and it did not work to charge. The red led did not light up. She still has her 500 so we use the AC adapter that came with her 500 to charge out readers. Also, while charging via the AC adapter, I can also read at the same time. I cannot read & charge with USB. I've never tried to charge my 505 via USB when it's been flat so I cannot say if it works or not. But I highly recommend an AC adapter because you can read while charging, it charges from flat, and it takes less time to fully charge. And You are not relient on a computer to be nearby to charge.
