1. I am sure that is correct, but...
2. I tested today by bringing PC out of standby then connecting an "asleep" KF and all was good.

so there's another factor at play

let's see if I can reproduce what I did yesterday....
I eject KF, connect Kobo, eject that from within calibre, unplugged it.. now plugging KF back in ( which is back in standby) and...

no error !

SO much for that exact theory. I will grab the exact error messages if the problem ever returns- it could be that KF has to have been in standby for a long time, not just for a couple of minutes in order for this to show up

(PS I always use the same USB cable, which is perma-connected at PC end, so I doubt that it is a cable issue - but it could be something really silly like not pushing the USB plug all the way in at the KF end, I suppose )
