When I plug my Kobo Glo reader into my pc, the menu with options to manage library/files or keep reading doesn't come up. I've tried unplugging and replugging, resetting... Once before I remember, when the wifi wouldn't work for months on end, the trick was to make sure it was the exact cable that came originally with the Kobo reader, not another micro USB cable. Wifi is now working, but that won't help me with transferring ADE controlled files from the library, as far as I know, I still have to manually plug into my PC for that. I thought I was using the right cable this time but it looks like I'll have to go hunting. Any suggestions? Thx for anything!
