Not that I doubted any of you in the least, but the reply I received from Sony pretty much backs up what each of you have been saying.

Response from Sony: "You can charge the battery pack of the Sony PRS-500 Portable Reader only by connecting it to an AC outlet or to a computer via USB. You cannot connect it to the DCC-FMT50U Car Stereo Transmitter or DCCE345 Car Multi-Voltage DC Adaptor to charge the battery pack."

So maybe a very complicated way around this is to use my computer as a portable charging device.
