BeBook mini charging

laurai · 11-03-2009, 09:30 PM

So, I think I have decided to get the BeBook mini, they finally have covers for sale (in pretty colours

) and they have brought the price down. (if the V5 comes in stock before I hit the button I will probably get that but the waiting is getting to me, I am such a now person) However, they still don't include a wall charger in the basic package. Does anyone here know if there is anything odd about the BeBook charger or if an ordinary USB wall charger like I have already will do the trick? I have trouble imagining why anyone would alter the standard USB but I have heard that the International Kindles need special plugs.

Thanks,
Laura

I have an Astak Pocket Pro (same as the Bebook mini). A standard USB charger works fine.

I use either the charger I got with my HTC phone or my Sonim phone. Both have mini-usb plugs and work perfectly.

The Kindle has a micro-usb plug, from what I understand. And the Kindle ships with an American socket enabled charger, and they have those weird square "feet"...

Does the HTC-phone-Charger work with the PRS505, and some others that charge on the pc, too?

Edit: Silly question, since it uses the mini-USB plug and charges while being connected to the pc it should work properly.

Ah, good! I have a HTC charger, so I will be able to use that.

I took the plunge, now I can't wait until it arrives!
