I'm glad to find this thread. I left my 505 plugged into the computer a little too long I guess, and then I had this idea that maybe I could plug my reader into my ipod charger, since that, too, plugs in via a usb cable....well apparently that didn't work because I tried to turn it back on and I got the "reader starting up" screen. Now, I have it plugged back into the computer and hopefully everything will be ok once I get it charged. And tomorrow I will definitely buy a psp charger.

Just one question---even if the battery was completely dead, would the computer still recognize that I had plugged in the reader to the usb port? Thats what's scaring me.

Edit:
Nevermind this post. Once I had it plugged into the computer for a short while, the computer finally recognized that it was plugged in. I also managed to turn it on and see that all my books are still loaded. So, I'm good for now. I found out that the Gamestop store near me has a used psp charger that I need for $7.99. I plan to pick that up tomorrow.
