Is this what you mean in #5? I don't think the problem is Kindle, I think it is Dell ... couldn't be the operator, could it :-) LOL

If the Targus 4-port USB hub has a separate power supply then it is what SirBruce was talking about. If the Targus 4-port USB hub is just the hub and a USB cable, then it won't help because it will be expecting to draw power from the Dell computer. The #5 suggestion is to overcome the possibility that your Dell computer is not supplying enough power to the USB ports. This is more likely to be the case if your computer is an older one without USB 2.0.
