I love to read and I love to travel (light, 25 lbs or less). This was my primary motivation, (excuse?), for buying an ebook reader. However, I still need to recharge the reader when I'm on the road.

Therein lies my problem. I already carry a worldwide adapter, (includes USB), with surge protection. I don't want to carry a Brick adapter and the USB to 5-mini adapter provided with my PRS-505 is too large. I'm looking for the smallest footprint possible.

I remember reading, (on this forum?), that standard USB to mini-5 adapters don't work with the Sony. Only the round adapters work. Unfortunately I can't find the original post.

Ideally, I'm looking for a USB to Sony (mini-5 or round) adapter that is as small as possible. Can you help me out?

Thanks!
