Should the AC bypass the battery, I'd use it often. One good thing is that Sony's charger has nice long cord.

Somehow I wonder, as once the LED light goes out, I notice the transformer no longer is warm. On the other hand, constant reading might cycle it on and off, who knows? That is a literal question: Who Knows?
Another guess on my part: the power (really current in a given time) needed to charge the Reader's battery dwarfs the power needed to read. Now I'm going to have to charge and read on AC with my hand on the transformer and see what happens. I may dig my Kill-o-Watt out of our packed boxes although it may not read current as low as what the Reader uses when just reading.
