Comes with an adapter incase you choose to use your Reader without a soft case.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read before you buy..., November 26, 2007

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!

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT made for the Sony PRS-505!!, July 31, 2008

WARNING: This unit is only for the Sony PRS-500.

NOT THE Sony PRS-505. IT WILL NOT FIT THE Sony PRS-505!!!

I have confirmed that SONY WILL NOT be RELEASING a cradle for the Sony PRS-505. FYI.

Aside form this, I have this cradle and it works well for my Sony PRS-500. Kind of pricey though.
