Mine just got delivered yesterday and I had also ordered the AC charger. The main reason is that down the track (when the Cue comes out, if not before) I'll give this to my partner, who doesn't use her laptop for long enough at one sitting to justify leaving it on to just to charge up the reader. Besides, she uses her laptop unplugged so using it to charge the reader in the mean time would just kill the computer's batteries.

Having said that, using the USB cable for the charging the reader the first time yesterday (supposedly it is fully charged when the red light turns off) took a little over 3 hours (the getting started guide quoted "4 hours or less".
