It could be a bug, but it's probably a matter of interpretation and more likely you were marginally getting by doing something you shouldn't. Perhaps they changed something throughput related or response time based(tightened up specs), or drivers got updated on your PC, and now a marginal connection fails...

If you know it works fine without the hub, there is your solution. AFAIK, there is no guarantee that any device will be compatible with anything but a direct connection to a USB port, not a hub, not an internal hub, Nada.

The fact that it still works on a direct connection pretty much indicates they are within spec for a direct USB connection, so not really a bug.

The only other thing that comes to mind is that I had a similar issue transferring books once upon a time and it was related to a corrupted database on the reader. You might try logging out and back into the reader to let it rebuild the database, but if that's the problem you shouldn't be having any better luck transferring books without the hubs...

Are you sure you don't have a bad, stressed, or too long cable somewhere in the mix?
