[conspire] Warning: You'll never get your time back from this thread

[Margaret Wendall]

All this is very interesting. When I bought my Kindle (an aeon age) the
sales clerk advised using the USB cable that came in the box, so I've done
this and my Kindle works sort-of. I keep it on hand so I can download
Kindle books to my other devices. I follow the same advice with my Apple
devices. I really don't know if the same rule spplies or not, but I haven't
had problems.
