Plug your Kobo in by USB. Press the command key and space bar at the same time to bring up spotlight search. This is one of the most useful things to know about the Mac. A quick way to search for any program, file name, contact, convert units, all kinds of things! Start to type Disk Utility and it will auto fill in the name. Hit enter to open the Disk Utility program. You should see categories in the left-hand bar for Internal (your hard drive) and External (mine says KOBOeReader) if your KA1 is proprerly recognized by your Mac.
Here is another item to check. When you have the Finder window open, press the Command key plus Comma key together. This will bring up the Finder Preferences (like settings/options in Windows) and select the General icon. Here you will see the option to check or uncheck a box to show External disks on your desktop. If this box is checked and your KA1 is properly connected (mounted), then you will see an icon of a disk drive on the desktop labeled KOBOeReader. You can drag this icon on top of the Trash Bin to "eject" the mounted drive when you are ready to disconnect.
The last tip is that in the Finder window in the left-hand bar, you should see a category called Devices. Place your mouse pointer to the right of the label Devices towards the edge of the gray bar and you should see a toggle that switches between Hide and Show. Your devices could be hidden from showing in the list.
Hope that helps! I'm a big fan of the Missing Manual series for the macOS written by David Pogue if you want to learn more.
