I have made up my mind (finally) to buy a Nook colour, which does marvellous things, but is larger than I really wanted for travel.
Will appreciate any comments the Forum has on this situation.
Thanks,

there are markings on your charger:
Dash notation:
90-250V indicates the Range 90 to 250 with no user intervention
as long as you are between those number shown, there should be no problems.
Slash notation:
115/230 indicates that it will do either, BUT there is a switch or jumper.
115V is a single voltage unit
Be wary of voltage converters intended for Razors or curling irons.
The waveform can be very odd (which won't bother their intended load) and might damage electronics.
