I gave my gf my old kindle (kept it in airplane mode for a long time and never JB it).

She was using it for over a year with no issues connecting through USB to upload books. Recently, she enabled wifi and registered the device. I can see it was updated by amazon. Now we cannot get it to connect through USB. Tried windows, linux, mac and 5+ different cables. (USB charging works.)

Her mom has a bunch of books she wants to share with her from her kobo reader and/or her mac. Is there a way to fix the USB or at least for her to get the books over wifi?

Going to toss it if not. Its just so tilting that we have to pay the price for forced updates being botched.
