<div dir="ltr">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.<div><br></div><div>Margaret Wendall</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 6:12 PM, Daniel Gimpelevich <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:daniel@gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us" target="_blank">daniel@gimpelevich.san-francisco.ca.us</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On Wed, 2016-05-11 at 15:20 -0700, Mike Higashi wrote:<br>

</span>Waste of money. Pre-USB3 devices DIScharge faster when charging without<br>
a data connection, which is _required_ for actual charging. The cables<br>
with no data connection are for devices that simply use a USB connector<br>
but don't do data in any way.<br>
