A solution the community has seen work over the years is a USB 2 hub plugged into a USB 3 port, and the Kobo plugged into the hub.

I think that's what I'll do. Hubs aren't expensive, and I'd rather have my reader on the side with the 3.0 hubs - it's a spatial issue on my desk. I'm right handed, which means my mouse is on the right of my computer, the 3.0 ports are on the left of my computer, the 2.0 on the right. I use all the limited space on the right of the laptop for mouse movement, the left is where I attach stuff so it doesn't get in the way. And when I write it all out it sound stupid, but it's just ease of use. Everything is awkward when I plug the reader into the right side of the laptop, like there just something wrong in my world. Can't explain, sounds stupid.

I'd do that, except I use the 3.0 ports for everything else, and they're located on my laptop in a better spot that the 2.0 port. Whomever designed the laptop must have been on the lower end of their graduating class in Industrial Design.
