The reason for being so careful is that I am quite far from the nearest place where I can claim warranty for my Reader.
The Reader's power adapter supports 100-240V 50/60. So all you'd need is a plug converter to convert to whatever plug type you use. Why would you need to make an artificial load for the Reader's power adapter?
