Thanks for that has been bugging me for ages, I got an old (passive) USB hub out and voila, the reader mounted and was accessible via Calibre.
After removing the hub and plugging the reader directly to my Surface Book, it was recognised.
Weird one, and I am not sure where the problem sits (I had the same with a Win 10 device with USB2 and USB3 ports and it wouldn't be recognised on any port).
