As others have mentioned, the red charging light comes on only when the device is connected to the USB port on a computer. Presumably this is deliberate on the part of Sony, but it is a great nuisance. I do have a Sony charger, but prefer not to carry it when travelling. Incidentally, I have experienced battery drain on the PRS-505 even when connected to a computer unless the book-reader software is loaded. It's not a consistent fault, but it is disastrous to suddenly find the battery completely discharged on occasion.

It's not exactly like that- you can have any USB charger on the "plug" side, even an Apple iPhone charger, but you have to connect it on the PRS side with a standard Sony output, i.e. the one from a PSP charger.
