I'm sorry, but I can't remember much about these early Sony units. (I was an early adopter of them, but left them about 4-5 years ago.)
The USB cable may charge it - and probably does.
I had to have a special charger [produced by Sony] when I bought my PRS-500 new about 7-8 years ago.
There will be plenty of members here who will give you more specific info. [Sorry.]

To charge the 300, you will need to find a Sony PSP type charger. That's the one with the barrel type plug.
The best way to deal with a 300 is to return it whenever possible. It doesn't matter who else uses one. It's old (old software) and it's slow. Plus, it's possible that the battery could be wonky given the age of the 300. You do want something more up-to-date in order to properly test your ePub. I believe the 300 is so old, that the ADE used doesn't support full justification. I think that didn't happen until the x50 line (350, 650, 950). The thing is, don't jump on a Reader just because its chap. Get one that fits your needs and the 300 is not it. The 300 is a 5" version of the 500 and I would not use a 500 today because it doesn't work well enough any longer. It's obsolete, slow and the ADE is never going to be updated to be good enough.
