Has anybody tried this sort of thing to see if the Sony Reader will charge with such a device? Naturally there isn't any PC involved, so the Connect software won't be present.
I'm wondering if purchasing such a thing would be worthwhile, or if it might be better to by a power inverter and just use the AC adapter to charge the Reader while in the car.

No, car USB chargers won't work with the Reader. What will work, though, is the car charger for the Playstation Portable (PSP); the PSP uses the same charger as the Reader (5.2V DC) and PSP chargers, car adapters, etc, work fine on the Reader. To be honest, though, you need charge the Reader so infrequently (I charge mine once every couple of weeks, and read about an hour a day) that it's something of a non-issue.
