Anyone any advice as to where I'm going wrong?

When you plug the Kobo, it should present you with a choice: Cancel or Connect. You must choose Connect for it to appear on the PC. Cancel is for those times when you want to keep using it while recharging from the PC.

Any USB mains charger should do, really. The worst that could happen to you is to select one that does not deliver enough current for the device, but seeing how the Kobo needs so little power that really should not be a problem.
For you information USB power is specified as 500mA@5V on a PC, but laptops sometime provide less than 500mA to reduce the drain on the battery (contrary to what Matth79 wrote, I do not believe a charger delivering 5.3V or even 5.5V would be a problem but it does not harm to try and stick to 5V of course)
