Time to make a run into town.
In my weak defense, I'll say that it's been over 15 years since I've needed a real usb cord. yikes.
Thanks, and I'll report back later.

No need to be embarrassed. The charge-only cables don't look any different and I too learned of their existence here on MR. My current ereaders use USB-C, but I recall wanting to connect one of my old Kindles once and had to try at least 4-5 different cables, before I found one that worked - the rest were charge only.
