Different problem to the one I was thinking of. Some people have a problem where the connection drops after a bit.

The on-device screen where it asks for permission to connect to computer and then says connected and charging - that happens i think as soon as the charging pins make contact. it is triggered by the charging pin detection which happens as soon as I just touch the usb cable end to the ports without even pushing it home.
but I have several workarounds not, thanks to the contributors to this thread,
When i look at my various micro usb cable ends, the melal end which goes into the deviceport is shorter/longer on different cables, It could just be a depth thing. the end goes in until stopped by the plastic casing on the cable and it seems touch and go as to whether it goes in far enough. I've lost my genuine kobo cable , so trying with a kindle cable & with various 99p ebay specials

I did have a problem at the device end of the cable. When I looked in the socket, there was a little bit of something jammed into the bottom. It was just thick enough that the plug didn't always go in enough to connect.
But, my usual problem is at the other end of the cable. The socket in the laptop has become a little lose, and I if I don't make sure the plug is in properly, it doesn't connect.

PS if you happen to know the name of the driver / plug in that does epub to kepub conversions in caliber in advnace of connecting the device, that will save me some searching.

You want the Kepub Output plugin for the conversion. And you should install the Kepub Metadata Writer and Kepub Metadata Reader plugins.
