However if the Reader's battery gets too flat - eg if you leave the MP3 player playing, and it goes completely flat - USB charging won't work and you need to use the wall charger.
Actually I charge routinely from a dumb USB power supply which has a standard USB port. I bought a no brand PSP 2 IN 1 USB charger/data cable on Ebay (less than $10 shipped). I use only the charger cable end when charging from the dumb USB charger and the mini-cable end when working with a laptop. The unused cable end just dangles. The former option works with totally discharged batteries.
