From that line I get -
[172318.032435] usb 1-2.4.1: device descriptor read/64, error -32
and that’s the only one relevant to this situation.

Running 'sudo grep -i kindle /var/log/syslog' I get -

I've changed '/etc/udev/rules.d/85-kindle.rules' to
'/etc/udev/rules.d/75-kindle.rules' but it hasn't made any difference.
I'll try asking on 'stack-overflow' and will let you know if its finally
successful.
Thanks for all the help, teaching and ideas, it is appreciated. :)
Sharon.
