Hi all! Will be purchasing a PW and have a question about wall adapters. I have read many threads here about them that say don't use anything but the amazon designed wall adapter to you can use any adapter that you want. A little confusing! LOL Some people even said that their reader was fried by not using a proprietary one. I have many of these hanging around the house and would like to avoid buying another if I can. The one I use for almost all my things is an Asus usb wall adapter that came with my Nexus 7. Input 100-240V at 0.25A and output 5.2V and 1.35A. It just seems stupid to buy a $20 one just because it says Amazon on it, but I suppose it's money spent wisely if something else is going to toast my reader.
