My comments in the USB-C discussion:
While I love the idea of a reversible connector with rapid charging and fast transfer speeds, I do not trust this connector. I have had a couple of USB-C cables which required wiggling in order to connect. This sounds like a small issue, but I think it is a grave flaw. It means that if I nudge a device during a data transfer, I could interrupt the transfer, bricking my device. I have never had similar issues with micro-USB.
Perhaps the transition to type-C is inevitable. Fine by me - maybe when it becomes universal, the issues will become better known and some regulations will be imposed. Until then, I am not going to complain about devices being produced with a safer, more reliable connection, especially e-readers, which have small batteries and (for me, at least) small files to transfer.
