My Chromebook was over 80% charged, and I also tried it while I had it's power cable in (I know that's not what you meant about a powered USB hub) and it still wouldn't work. So in the end I got my old laptop out and fired that up, and it recognised it first time. So I've managed to get the books onto my Kobo, just not how I was planning on it.
It was really lucky I hadn't taken my laptop to the ewaste collection like I had been planning to.
So I'm not sure if it's a lack of power thing with the Chromebook, or that my Linux needs something else installed to be able to recognize devices.
Long story short, I'm happy with the result. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone
