Check the usb port on the Kobo make sure it does not need the lint cleaned out.

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.)
