Are you talking about charging the new 350 and 650, or are you talking about the older Sony Readers? The older Sony Readers (300, 600, and 900) required a barrel type adapter and a special Sony AC charger, and they also had a mini-USB connector for connecting to the PC and charging. The newer 350 and 650 don't have the barrel type adapter. Instead the 350 and 650 use a standardized micro-USB connector to connect to the PC and to connect to a charger. This is the standard connector now used on most new cellular phones. All the posts I've read concerning the 350 and 650 indicate that other AC chargers are working.
