This begs the question - can I charge my Sony using my cell phone charger?
Nope.

The current PRS-505 is squirrley with regards to charging from mini-USB. Unless there is a live computer on the other end, the battery will simply drain instead of charging.

So leaving your PRS-505 hooked up to a cell phone mini-USB charger will drain it. Leaving your PRS-505 hooked up to a turned-off computer will drain it.
