That's what I'm trying to side load anyways I just got a new forma. It came with its very own cable :-) plugged it in my computer which is an iMac and boom completely saw the forma. So I use the same cable and tried it on my Aura immediately it was recognized. I had four different types of cables that I had laying around the house I thought it can't be the cables but yes indeed it was it's the cable now I don't know what kind of a special cable kobo uses but if you have one hang onto it. I don't know whether kobo sells separately but with all the grief that I put up with trying to figure out how to make this thing work I would've gladly paid to get a new cable.

Interesting. I don't even remember if my Kobo Aura came with a cable. Like you, I've tried many otherwise-good cables. The thing about cables is there are no working parts, just grounded and shielded wires, so it makes no sense, especially since I tend to purchase quality braided versions. To sideload, I have to plug in an unpowered 4-port USB adapter to any PC USB port,
then plug a cable into one of those ports, and then the Kobo is recognized.
