You're right of course, but I live on a narrowboat and for the last week I've been stuck in the middle of the flooded Thames at Oxford with no mains power. I have a car charger that has a USB plug on the end, and my computer of course, but couldn't figure out how to make the Reader charge from USB, even though the manual says it can.

Thanks to this thread I now know the secret of getting USB charging to work and that if I get a proper PSP car charger I can charge the reader off the boat's supply.

Thanks everyone. You guys are great.
