Another 'convenient' cord option (I recommend this to ALL Reader owners!) is to buy a PSP data/power cable. You can use it as a regular usb-to-mini-usb cable (e.g., for data transfer for the Reader) and you can power the Reader from any usb port (PC/wall-wort/car charger, etc.) You can find these for under $5. Best charging option for the Reader. (Just got a couple of these in the mail yesterday from dealextreme, $3.75 each, free shipping.)

BTW, the battery should last well over 2 weeks (maybe less with SD card), so you may not need a charger. Also, there's enough internal memory to hold a ton of books, so why not load a big assortment of stuff onto the Reader before you leave? Unless you're traveling for more than 2-2.5 weeks, you won't need any charger or SD card, and you won't run out of books!
