So, I hook up a cheap (whatever I have laying around, even dollar-store) USB 2.0 hub to the MacBook Pro, then the Kobo to the hub using any data-capable USB A to USB micro cable.
It appears that Kobos sometimes need a little more power from the USB port than do most devices. I'm guessing your USB hub is powered?
