Same thing happened with different USB ports and different computers, and when I tried the cables with the wall charger, the light on the Sony didn't come on, but it did immediately with one of the multi-cables. In both cases, when I plugged the Sony into the PC, I got the message about whether I wanted to transfer data, but before I could press it, the screen started to flash and another message popped up to say it wasn't charging. Your next great read is just a click away. So like you, I'm rather bemused by this.īoth of these new cables were thicker than the multi-'charging' cables, and looked exactly like the original Sony cable. However, in the past week, I've bought two micro-USB cables that claimed not only to be data transfer cables, but to be specific for the T1, and neither worked. That was fine - I'd bought them as charging cables, and so I assumed that a data transfer cable must be be different. Note: The Kobo Desktop app is not compatible with Google Chro.

I've had exactly the same problem with the Sony T1 - I already had a collection of multi-cables for charging various devices, which included micro-USB cables. I assume that the not every USB cable has the exact same pin connections or all the pins connected? I know its old news that people have to use proprietary Apple cables and wall chargers due to slight pin differences, so I guessed there must be something similar with the Kobo?

Drag the PDF or ePub files into the 'Kobo eReader' drive. Only an old Optus tab and a Logitech USB dock cable charged as per normal. On your computer, look for a drive named 'KOBOeReader'. I gave it two hours with each of the six cables I found around the house. I should also say, my Kobo is a the older regular non-touch one but it is in new condition, I have only used it a few times and I have not installed the Kobo software. It was odd as I could move books off and on to the reader and Windows was showing it functioning correctly in device manger.
