I have a couple of other devices that seem to have ordinary USB ports for charging, but actually require their specific chargers or a computer. A pox on them for making life difficult - unnecessarily. If it didn't have the micro USB connector, I'd try to use one of the other special charges which has a mini USB plug.

In short, it looks like the PRS-T1 requires the Sony charger or using a computer.
I use my htc phone charger which definately gives better charge that usb. I have bought a £5 charger of ebay to put with reader that is being given as a present. I have not tested this one yet but will try it tonight.
