Most probably, you need to add some methods to get the bus powered. Besides software to switch the port into the right mode, the biggest hurdle is typically to get 5 volts with enough milliamperes onto the power rails. I didn't test this on a Kobo, though - it's mostly a more general view on similar devices.

PS: Often, an externally powered USB hub can provide the missing link.
