Thanks for all the comments. I've used numerous smartphones, tablets, etc. for years, but my Glo HD's charging port has always been problematic ... the original cable has *never* felt secure to me, but on the other hand, it has somehow worked ... and continues to work with "wiggling" and, yes, rubber bands. I've not had this trouble with other devices (various Nooks, ipad 2, ipad air, ipad mini, ipad gen5, various hotspots and other devices with USB/mini connectors, not to mention numerous phones), so I'm thinking I'm generally able to handle the delicate ports responsibly.
From day one, the connection on this one has felt "less than robust", as Deskisamess says, and actually, it seems pretty different from my Touch or original Glo. Since I always insert the cable properly, ie - I make sure I'm gently inserting it in the correct orientation, it feels like this may originate in the reader/port itself.
Whatever the cause, the good news is that if it somehow dies, I'll be able to upgrade!
Again, thanks for the comments. I appreciate all of the help the Mobile Read members offers.
