This reminds me. I read in a few places that if you consume all the energy in the battery, charging via USB is not possible, and the wall charger would be required. Has anyone ever had this problem? Also, I don't think there's any chance of getting a PSP charger 
I'm already gathering some books I'm going to read.  |
Well, don't be sure you will be able to charge via USB. It not only depends on your book reader, but also on your computer. Some computers have power supplies that are just barely big enough to support their peripherals. As a result, when you put a charging device on the USB, there may not be enough power output to charge the device.
As an example, when I connect my Kindle2 to my laptop for more an hour or so it not only doesn't recharge the K2, but it messes up the K2 battery memory. I assume it has a smart charger. Anyway, for the next day or so my K2 shows that its battery is running out abnormally fast. Even after I recharge it using a wall charger it can still have problems for a day. After a couple of charges it recovers.
I have had two different K2's and they both had this problem.
