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.)
If you have any other micro USB cables I would try/use them.

I have a Kobo Touch and it has a micro USB port, same as a Forma. Interesting that a UK Touch would have a different port then the U.S.
