You guys never heard of hyperbole, eh?

I can look at one such cable right now as I type this. You think I was charging the Kobo Mini out of thin air the other day when I reported I was in the process of charging it?
The point is, it's a nuisance in 2022 to have to keep such obsolete cables around just for the sake of charging an old appliance. Anyway, my Kobo Mini is dead, so it's a moot point. USB-C is the new King Charles.
