Thanks Quoth.

I have tried just about everything now, including connecting via a USB hub.

The last try was to connect it to my wife's Windows 7 laptop. That gave a slightly simpler error message. Paraphrasing just slightly, the device wasn't recognised, so try another port, and if that doesn't work, replace the device.

It does sound as if it is a hardware problem with the Kindle.

I'll continue using it as a WiFi only book reader.

Thanks very much for taking the time to help.
