Thanks Igorsk, last night, while rereading the quick start guide, I learned that the battery will discharge if plugged in to a USB and the computer goes to sleep. A common event with computers today. And, your right, Sony's Reader wall charger is rediculously expensive.

I also have a Belkin travel plugin strip that has 2 USB connectors on the end. Unless there's some communication required to charge the Reader, will these charge the battery?

Alternatively, maybe the iGo power tip for the Sony PSP (tip # A54) might allow the wall charger to plug into the 5.2 volt input?
