The card reader/writer method can be used, but that is just as much of a workaround kludge as my USB1.1 hub workaround. I will not leave an SD card reader in the slot to read from because that is just a waste of battery power. The circuitry to support the SD card and the SD card itself require power to operate, and that power comes from the PocketPRO. If the PocketPRO had file handling utilities like OpenInkpot used to have, then it would be possible to load books into the internal storage from an SD card, but without those utilities the nearly 500 MegaBytes of internal storage would just be going to waste. I much prefer my kludge to force the PocketPRO down to USB1.1 speeds, and being able to use the internal storage that is consuming power anyway.

I do not doubt you, and I am not angry, just really disappointed in buying a device with two major problems. I have peeled off the bad paint, and I have a workaround for the USB failure so I do have a usable device to read with. I believe you when you say USB2.0 is flawless for you, since I am pretty sure that the USB2.0 interface problem is just an example of overzealous cost saving engineering that only affects a small percentage of devices in the current production run. But if the problem is not looked into by Jinke, another production run may experience a far more unacceptable percentage of USB problems.
