Maybe that actually discharged it instead? I know there is an issue with the Sony 505 in that you can NOT charge it from just any usb-type power it has to be "enabled" by the software to charge from the usb. charging it via the PSP type connector works fine though. This was the main impetus for me to ask this question and start this thread after I got my kindle.
