The one I originally bought was similar to this one:

but even though this is billed as a 'transfer' cable, I haven't been able to get it to transfer anything between the PC and the Sony, even though it will allow me to transfer between the PC and other gadgets, including other ereaders. Thus, I tend to keep this one on the PC for other things, and use a cheaper version, which is charge only, for charging the Sony off a wall socket.

You can see the micro-USB connection fifth from the right in the second pic.
Thank you for your response, I actually didn't try charging it with another cable
