I plan to connect the USB cable from the reader into this power brick. The reader would think its connected to the PC.

I havent tried this yet. But This is how I charge my Bluetooth headset which is meant to be charged via USB, my creative zen MP3 player and my Zune. I am sure it would work for the PRS 505 as well.

any comments?
I am pretty sure it won't work. My wife has an iPod Touch and she has a wall wart USB power charger for it. I did try it with my 505 and it did not work. The best thing to get an a PSP AC adapter with the barrel plug. Not only will it actually work, but it will charge faster then it would via USB.
