Well the Sony PRS-505 did not come with a power cord, you had to buy it separately. I know we are talking about the Kindle but the only way you could charge the PRS-505 if you did not buy the cord was through USB and that's how I charged mine for the 1st 3 months of ownership with no problems. Also, most readers you have to connect them to a computer to load material by USB so I don't think you should worry. Only the Kindle has Whispernet to load data at the moment, so all other manufactured readers has been doing fine so far, even though they have to be connected to load data and charging while you do so; you actually gaining a benefit of rarely charging when you load content via USB.
