Just to be sure I ordered an extra power cable from B&N and tried it on my Linux box, same issue. Lots of errors in dmesg, no connection. This cable ALSO connects fine in win7. I'd say this makes a pretty convincing case for this being a Linux-specific issue. Let me know if you're interested and I'll post the error messages. I also tried this on my web server (Ubuntu 10.04 server) and got a connection with both cables, which narrows this down to a Debian-specific issue. Unfortunately, I have a separate instance of Calibre on my server (dedicated to tech manuals) so I can't just shift everything there. But at least I kept my Nook v1 cable...
