Hi. Visiting Japan and for some reason my bundled USB cable wasn't charging my reader from my macbook.
Visited some electronics stores and was told a proper AC charger would have to be ordered.
I found a USB charger that connects to the USB port on the reader but ALSO the power connector. It was for the PSP, but I gave it a try. Worked perfectly and charged the Reader astonishingly fast.
Here's a link to a site that has them available. Much better alternative than the regular USB cable for when you need to charge your Reader.
