USB connection on kindle while I'm using koreader?
Hello everyone, I've noticed that while I'm using koreader on my kindle I can't connect the kindle to my computer using USB, I think it just starts charging the kindle, no data connection, so I have leave koreader to connect to USB then enter koreader again, which takes a while on the kindle.
I know I can use ssh to transfer files but sometimes I'd rather use USB. |

Don't connect USB while KOReader is open. Otherwise you can damage files.

Note that we should be neutering USBMS safely, so you *should*, in theory, be able to safely charge your device.
No data connection, though, and that's on purpose (it's a technical limitation, the only platform where we support that is on Kobo). |

Theoretically it's possible to use wireless device connection from calibre using USBNet hack if this condition is removed.
I have tried to write plugin, which automatically connects to calibre after plugging USB cable. |

@mireq: I guess https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/9104 might be of interest here when it lands .
