There are various adapters available all over the net, but I'm not sure which of them (if any) would work with a Kobo.
Maybe a USB-C to USB 2.0 Hub?

I'm only guessing, since this is what seems to work consistently for PhyrePhox when connecting to his Mac. Found in this thread...

I often have trouble syncing my H2O Ed. 2 and the new Forma to my MacBook Pro 2012. Troubleshooting led me to conclude that the Kobo works consistently when connected to a USB 2.0 port on the Mac. However, the 2012 and later Macs don't have a USB 2.0 port, only USB 3.0. 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.
I tried hooking up my Kobo Aura HD to my wife's Dell computer (that only has USB-C ports) using the USB/HDMI adapter that came with it and had no luck with that. I'm pretty sure that port is a 3.0 USB A, however.
