I tried that, it still does the trickle charge. which is why I took some extreme measure -> https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...796#post367796

[QUOTE =daffy4u]Track down the USB cable for the Palm Zire and you'll be able to charge your K1 via USB with it in about the same amount of time as the wall charger.[/QUOTE]
are you certain about that? that would a be a great solution!(but I doubt it would work) I tried all sort of USB to mini cables before, all of them just did the same thing as the stock cable - trickle charge.
