The USB cable that comes with the Kobo Vox will not allow for charging the Kobo Vox, the cable is meant to allow you to transfer files to the Kobo Vox and use it as a storage device."

I thought that all USB cables were good for data transfer and charging...am I mistaken? I also just tried using another USB cable with the plug/adapter that I bought at the same time but alas with no success.
Thanks....
I've been using my Blackberry usb cable because it is 45" long and it works great with the iPad charger. I haven't tried the original cable long enough to see if it charges, I'll try it tonight and let you know. I did try it for a short time to see if the battery indicator would show it was charging but it didn't show as charging.
