I'm guessing you didn't buy it.
I bought an "European" power cord for the original Reader charger for slightly less than $2 ;-)
Then I made an artificial load (fancy name for a resistor ;-)) for power source and measured if it gives desired output. Then I measured if there is no "leak" current against ground. Finaly I said a short prayer and connected the Reader. The power source has been working happily ever after.
The reason for being so careful is that I am quite far from the nearest place where I can claim warranty for my Reader.
