I just ordered the Sony one instead and am very satisfied. I ordered another brand but when I got it I was going to have to order another attachment to fit on my 505. Great item. Fast recharge.
Yes. Yes. This product is a must have if you are on the go and do not have access to a computer. Should it have been included with the reader. With that said I still think it's a good product and well worth my 4-star rating. I love the fact that I can charge my PRS505 and read at the same time (something you can't do with the USB). Is it pricey.
I have been pleased with the performance of the charger and have found that in some cases where I have let the battery die completely in the reader, normal computer USB supply is not enough (or perhaps I wasn't patient enough) to reanimate the device. Though not included with the actual Reader, this charger is extremely useful for a) quick charging, b) recovering from complete battery death and c) charging in situations where there is no computer available. I recommend the charger highly but am disappointed that it's an attempt at nickel and diming for accessories by Sony. However, immediately on plugging in the reader charger, the reader rebooted and was charged quite quickly. I bought this charger after noticing that the reader would not charge through a wall plug to USB converter (like the iPhone/iPod and other gadgets use). This seems to be a design flaw of the Reader but not one of the charger.
Having this charger makes charging the batter (which rarely gets low in power) quicker and easier than plugging it into the computer. I have only had my reader for about a month and I have only used this charger once. I believe a charger should be purchased for any handheld item such as MP3 players, cell phones and such.
Waaaa I really don't know how well this charger works because it did not come with the promised adaptor for my sony reader.
