I always had my Kobo Libra H20 connected to my MacBook Pro from 2015, using the supplied USB A <> Micro USB cable without issues.

Then I got a new MacBook which only has USB C. So I tried:

- A USB C to Micro USB cable: charging, but no data

- An Apple USB C to USB A adapter, then the Kobo USB A to Micro USB cable: charging, no data

- An Apple USB C to USB A adapter, then about 9 USB A to Micro USB cables I had laying around from all kinds of devices: charging, no data

What finally worked was:

- An Apple USB C to USB A adapter, then a $2,50 no brand USB A hub/dongle thingy from 2010 or so and then the Kobo USB A to Micro USB cable: charging, and data!

So, somehow even modern Kobo’s really love to be connected to (what they believe is) a 10-15 years old computer...
