But I do the intermediate disconnect / reconnect on the easier to use USB-A host end. However it's a laptop usually with an external screen. I appreciate some people only disconnect the gadget end due to access.

The second one you listed triggers the scan for new content that you will also see after disconnecting from an USB connect. I've used it when playing with transferring books over wireless. |

To summarize: it all boils down to the current needed physical cable connection for charging/side-loading. To circumvent that, the following could be regarded:
With the above "wireless" soulutions in place, Kobo would have even less troubles to make their devices water-proof (no connector gels needed inside and such) So that sounds interesting indeed. Any elaboration possible on this part? |

Isn't wireless ebook transfer for newer devices possible, a la dropbox?

No, Dropbox is only the Forma, Elipsa and Sage. I assume that they are presenting it as a "premium" feature.

I've damaged a lot of usb micro ports, but luckily never on any of my kobos.
It's real easy to put weight on the usb cable, or worse, yank on it in the wrong direction. I've bent both cables and ports that way; while frequently not immediately fatal, it doesn't help at all. It's also possible, especially with a worn or abused port, to misalign the cable, which could cause shorts on the pins. That shouldn't be possible, but like I said, with an abused port, it could happen. It could also be that you have a bad cable. Maybe the tolerances on the cable are a bit off and it isn't fitting as well as it should, which could also allow pin misalignment. |

I'm looking to a reasonable prized magnetic cable as suggested in the postings above. The issue there is to get also multiple according spare tip sets as they are to be plugged in on the devices and remain there. Standard just 1 USB-C/1 micro-USB/ 1 iPhone tip included and no additional spare ones to be obtained. Amazon seems to offer cable bundles up to 3 sets with according tips so totaling to 3 tips of each type. |
