Our test unit allowed a Kobo Forma to connect to the USB A port but no thorough testing was done since using ereaders is not a mission critical item.
Not everybody runs into the problem, which is maddening to troubleshoot. Sometimes people have luck trying new cables, new USB hubs, etc. Whatever is happening, it's a mystery, but likely related to the new USB3.1/USB4 supporting motherboards.

However, to get back on topic a bit, browsing the Kindle forum on ANY day will show numerous posts from people having problems. This week my Kobo suddenly started acting as if possessed. No, it isn't floating around the room yet, though if it does, I'll be sure to post it on TikTok, but I'm going to have to fix whatever has been corrupted by reseting it. This is something I have done for all my Kindles at one time or another, too. I've reset them. I've logged out and logged back in. Kindles aren't perfect. They don't always work. Electronics are that way.
