Can anyone recommend a replacement cable for a Kobo Forma? My original reversible cable is getting incredibly flaky - you only have to look at it funny and it disconnects (that's when it connects in the first place). A random USB B cable seems to work (at least for data transfer).

Our previous Kobos were Touches which are old style-SD. Unfortunately, Kobo don't seem to sell OEM cables, and the last time I looked I would have had to import from Australia at vast expense... That seller doesn't seem to have any stock at the moment.

So I seem to be reduced into something from Ebay, but it's knowing which brands are good with Kobo. (If I can find a replacement 32GB Forma, I might go for it, but the only ones on Ebay are 8GB.)
