It's harder than you'd think. You would end up with two computers (the kobo and the one you've plugged it into) accessing the same filesystem at the same time. There is no way (well, in general) that this would end well. Most likely it would lead to serious data corruption.

HOWEVER, it would be relatively easy to allow the Kobo to be used while charging if the data aspect was absent. Eg, when using a wall charger, or after 'ejecting' the device on the computer but not removing the cable.

This is quite true though.
