I've just had problems connecting the KA1 running version 4.2.8283 to my computer to replace a book.
Yesterday I put a book on it, and today I noticed it had a big, but simple to fix layout issue. So I fixed it (actually being a typo in the CSS, getting an important class ignored), and wanted to replace the book.
Couldn't get the reader to connect. Same computer, same port, same cable, same software everything. Tried three cables. Nothing. In the end I kicked the USB-assignments using Nirsoft's USBDeview (that person should get a medal for his/her utilities, honestly), rebooted the computer and the reader, and then tried a different USB-port. Now it works again.
As I can't believe I have a defective USB-port (everything else I connect to it always works, including my old KPW1), or have heaps of defective cables lying around, I have to come to the conclusion that the USB-connectivity of the KA1 is bad. Kobo should look into that. It probably has something to do with a buggy USB subsystem in the kernel they use. (The Kobo's do run Linux underneath, don't they?)
