Remember not all USB/USB micro cables are equal. I have a half dozen in a drawer and some will power a Kindle but won't make it appear as a drive. I keep a Kindle cable separate because it will.

There is a reason but not being an engineer, I don't know what it is. I think someone said it had something to do with grounding.
