^Ian.M^ Thanks for that piece of advice, Ian. Certainly not the case, in my case, though. I suppose that is one of the reasons gadgets now generally come packed in moulded cardboard or similar - as was the case with my Kindle 3. Indeed, I kept it in the Kindle delivery box until that started to get a bit scruffy after about 18 months. Now it's in a Nokia mobile-phone slingbag, which is in turn kept inside a cardboard box that was used to deliver a satellite radio.
I'm now going to look out for a micro-USB to USB lead in our nearest local equivalent of Tandy/Radioshack/Maplin.
