I don't know how the Kobos handle it, but on Kindles the external storage is a separate partition that is exported directly (as in, the partition itself) and mounted to the computer.

I would think the Kobos were doing essentially the same thing.

As for the Win8-only thing... I don't believe Windows XP actually did any complaining. WinXP is pretty old though.
I am pretty sure it was Vista that first threw hissy fits.
