I tried to use a USB-A to C adapter that was advertised as USB 2.0, but it didn't work. So for now it looks like the best option for anyone having trouble with these M1 Macs is to go through a USB 2.0 hub as recommended by lel24. Annoying that I have to daisy chain 3 cables and use an obsolete hub that I won't even be plugging anything else into, but at least it works. Really wish kobo could get their USB stuff figured out.

Or perhaps that Apple would stop offering latest and greatest hardware that—unnecessarily—breaks compatibility with older hardware.
Looking at Intel's Thunderbolt 4 specifications and testing on the only device I have access to that has an Intel Thunderbolt 4 port (Lenovo laptop we are testing for staff use), a simple USB-C to USB-A adapter allowed me to plug multiple USB-2 devices including 3 different Kobo ereaders and an older Kindle and have Windows 10 mount them without issue.
