The problem for Kobo is that there is no device driver to release. They are mounted as a USBMS device using the drivers supplied as part of the OS. It might be fixable via a firmware update. That could make the device present itself in a different way that is acceptable to Windows - including old versions. But for anyone who doesn't have WiFi, they will have to find a non-updated PC to do the install.

Problem is, Windows doesn't even see a device. I'd have expected an "unknown device" message, but you don't even see any indication that an USB device has been attached (the same for my Garmin).
