Sony E-Book Charging Cradle 
2008-04-09
Unfortunately, Sony and/or Amazon was unclear as to which cradle goes with which e-book version. Current models use a USB-B connector to charge and transfer data. There is no cradle for that model. This cradle fits an older wide serial data/charging port style. It would be nice if a DC power supply(wall-wart) came with it. This doesn't even come with a USB cable.
What a waste of money!

Believe it or not, they are charging $50 plus tax and shipping for a piece of plastic which won't work without the charging transformer and cables which are another extra. The Sony Ebook will charge just fine from the USB cable. Don't waste your money.

For some reason, Amazon is marketing these things with the 505 reader. They only work for the 500, so do not waste your time and money. Sony has not yet released one for the 505. You need to check the same thing on the covers as well...if they are for the 500, they will not fit the 505. Otherwise, I am sure they work just fine with the 500...just don't make the mistake!
