Yup, Carpetmojo. But Sony's range is relatively highly priced anyway. I don't think a few cents at their end and an extra buck or two on the buyer's is going to crash sales. What's happening by supplying only a USB cable and claiming it's good enough damages Sony's reputation for quality hardware and is driving some new users potty.
I first came to Mobile read two-and-a-half years ago with the same Sony problems we see over and again even now. It was immediately fixed on advice within hours from Harry T and others who advised me to get hold of a mains charger. Never the glimmer of a problem since. Happy and smooth e-reading with the same old PRS 505 after all this time.
One of the reasons I stuck around was in appreciation of what these forums and generous members could achieve that manufacturers and stores can't or won't. And the general advice we've swapped has certainly been priceless to me.
Cheers. Neil
