If you use Calibre, you may want to look athe the: Calibre Content Server, which allows you to download your ebooks wirelessly to the KA1. See: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/server.html

My Aura One can be a bit finnicky with sync, a little more reliable with charging but I still wiggle the cable. And it's happening with cables I have labeled specifically as ones for the reader (some micro USB cables are charge only, so I label data ones that worked in the past).

I would imagine any shop that repairs smartphones and tablets could solder a new port. You might lose the water seal, but that's a small price to pay.

For syncing, I just run the Apache web server on my laptop, then just use the web browser under the Beta features. I set http://192.168.1.3 as the homepage, my laptop's assigned WiFi IP, so it comes up automatically without having to type an address. It works for PDFs, ePubs, whatever. I haven't synced via USB in ages. I don't want to overuse the port.

Here's my simple Apache httpd.conf file if anyone goes this route. It can likely be stripped down a lot.

DocumentRoot is where you specify where the books are, SRVROOT is where the Apache bundle is. I think I have the apachehaus.com bundle.

I then just execute bin/httpd.exe whenever I need it. You can also run it all the time as a Windows service.

Define SRVROOT "C:\Users\user\Downloads\Apps\Apache"
ServerRoot "${SRVROOT}"
Listen 80
