I know it doesn't come with a wall charger and only charges via USB in the computer. Can I charge it via USB into a generic USB wall charger?

You could, but if the charger doesn't have a good voltage regulator it may damage the Reader. Since you are investing in a good reader you better buy something designed especially for it. I have purchased good chargers for about $6.00.

Hi Marguerite, we don't recommend non Sony accessories for it might cause serious damage on this device. -Vincent

Mine came with a wall charger but I don't see why it wouldn't work with a regular USB wall charger.

It comes with a USB charge cord, but no wall plug. You can use any wall plug adapter that has a USB female connector.

it comes with a wall charger. It will not charge when connected to a computer.

There is a cord which has a USB connector which in turn can connect to a wall charger. You will have to buy the wall charger separately, but it should be available easily at a hardware store for a USD or 2.

We don't charge it with a wall charger, but a universal wall charger should work with this product.

Comes with USB which you can plug into your computer to charge. Otherwise you will have to buy a wall adapter to charge from an outlet

It comes with a wall charger. It can also be charged via a USB cable from a Laptop, etc, but this takes 3 or 4 times longer than using the wall charger.

You can't use the wall charger, you need a after market charger. I'm still new to this so I apologize if this doesn't help.

I generally plug mine into the computer. If you have a Wall adapter , you can charge that way as well. It doesn't come with one though.

As I recall...it comes with its own USB cable...which allows you to charge it from a computer or laptop...however...a 120 volt external charger (to plug into a wall socket) must be purchased separately.My USB cable is still going strong...and that included a round trip to Turkey!!!

I found one on here actually(on Amazon) that worked wonderfully as a replacement charger for this. Just plus in a USB and plug it straight into this wall charger and viola you have a charger. And its pretty cheap too :) http://www.amazon.com/DoubleUP-Charger-E-Readers-Powered-Devices/dp/B004KNAEKE/ref=cm_cr-mr-title

It doesn't have a wall charger, however, you should be able to get a USB wall charger from your local cell phone carrier store or major retailer. If so, you can use it at home or wherever you may be.

It comes with the USB cord to charge via computer. Wall charger is available from company - free with Amazon review. I hope that is what you meant by your question.

You would have to buy an adapter for a USB plug in order to charge in a wall outlet. It's too bad that's not included in box considering the price tag.

You can use a wall charger made by a different company. I do and it works just fine. Hope this helped :)

You could use any generic micro-USB cable (B Type) to charge this. As far as the wall charger is is concerned, you can use any 5Volts /1 Amp USB wall charger, I use the wall charger of my old android phone with that spec and it works just fine. Here's a link to how this cable looks like: AmazonBasics USB Cable - 2.0 A Male to Micro B - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

The unit does not come with a wall charger, but you can charge it using the USB cable plugged into any computer or use a charger such as mini USB cell phone or MP3 player charger.
