Interesting! Thanks for posting. I'll have to try a few more PC's and see what happens. The other one I tried has Win2K on it - wonder if one with XP would work? It recognized it as a "Sony Reader", but it wouldn't charge.

Could you confirm that the charge light (the little red LED above the power switch) comes on when you connect to the usb port? Or are you concluding that it's charging because the battery meter goes up? (If it charges without the light coming on, that would be interesting, too.)

ptulley - could you check to see if you're getting a charge light as well? (If I hook up my Treo USB charger to the Reader, I don't get the light, but it works fine if I connect it to the Reader's charger port.)


Cheers,
Bob
