I STRONGLY disagree, and you may have a different view if you've been around here for a while or had some experience with te Readers and usb. The Reader will ONLY charge via usb if the computer it's hooked up to is running AND has the Library software running on it.
It WON'T charge from just any pc with a usb port. In fact, connecting to the wrong pc port can DRAIN the Reader's battery. (It has happened to me and many others here.)
OTOH, an ac charger (ANY Sony PSP charger or charger cable with the yellow round plug will work) will charge the Reader FASTER than via usb, and will charge even if the battery is totally dead. And you can find PSP chargers and cable CHEAP, often less than $5.
