PEBKAC. I needed the device name and couldn't sort it out. The tail command in dmesg gave me the device name. Unfortunately I still couldn't mount it. I suspect more PEBKAC given the amount of sleep that I have had recently! I have solved the problem for now with a little lateral thinking. I took the memory card out of the device and put it in a card reader. I have now copied two more books (audio files of) for a very long train journey. Life was definitely easier when I could read actual books, but I do now have the advantage of being able to "read" and watch the scenery go by at the same time. :-) I'll come back to this when I get back next weekend. Having once had it mounted, albeit by accident, I know it can be done. So any further ideas you have will be very gratefully received, but not acted on for 9 days!
