Anyone know of anywhere I might need to change settings for Sierra to see my Kobo?

Like some people already said, Disk Utility gives you a way to see all of your connected drives, regardless of whether they are enabled to show in Finder. So if you see your Kobo there, try what the others have described and see if external drives are highlighted to show in the Finder settings.
If, however, your device does not appear anywhere even though it tells you it's connected, this suggests that weird issue that Kobos occasionally seem to have with some USB ports. Try a different one and see if the device, considering that it is highlighted to appear in Finder, connects. On my Macbook Pro 15 (2013), I usually get that behavior with certain USB cables, but only in connection with my Aura One. Must be something with Kobo’s USB implementation (perhaps the port sends too much power and the Kobo assumes it's a charger or whatever).
It's annoying at first, but you can get used to it and then it's not so bad, often quite good and sometimes even great.
(incidentally, this is also Kobo’s new marketing slogan
)
