I'm willing to take that bet.

I technically think that it has to do something with the USB port itself, some sort of setting that prevents it to handle the Kobo properly, like it was in one of those threads I mentioned above (USB fast setting or something like that).

Edit: Read an interesting fact here that the USB port on the SP3 is underpowered, so there's that.
I don't remember seeing a report of Kobo devices working with any of the different Surface device, so I wouldn't be surprised if they don't work. But, based on the number of reports of Kob devices not working with the current Win10 prerelease versions, that is where I would point the blame. MS have changed something about how they mount USB devices. The Kobo devices are suffering.
