a rather stupid question.

I have an ebookwise reader, and I have been unable to charge the device. The light doesn't even go on even after i remove the memory card and even after I press and hold the reset button.

But alas, just on a whim I tried another adapter on the off chance that I might have been trying the wrong adaptor. Lo and behold, the reader seemed to light up (as it did whenever it was charging).

It's possible that I got the adapters mixed up. But I am worried that the adaptor I am using is not the right one.

What type of adapter should be using? (I realize that you're supposed to use the one that came with the readeritself).

The one that seemed to work had 12v, but I thought it had a smaller voltage (like 5 voltage).

Can someone look at what adaptor they have and provide these specs? I'm guessing that the second adaptor I tried is the right one. I just don't want to damage my reader with a wrong voltage.

Help!
