I believe what people try to say is that one needs the 1000mA version, although I could charge my T1 and T3 with a regular 500mA one (well, it takes some time).
That's all WRONG. It's not about the amps. It's about the pin out. Sony Readers do not work on an Apple style USB charger. You can use an iPad charger as 2.1A or 2.4A or an iPhone charger as 1A and none of those will work. So no, amperage is irrelevant as far as comparability goes.
