None of my Kobos or Kindles can connect. The WiFi also has NO authentication / encryption.
Kobo's should be able to use a captive portal like that. The function was added to the firmware a long time ago, and I have tested it. But, it probably depends on the page that prompts for the user details or accepting the conditions. I remember one being laid out in a way that I couldn't get to the OK button.
