"@rmnelson, the hub could be a great solution and thank you for your hint, but its cost is similar to an e-reader cost. I hope there are lighter solutions than this."
My investigation of the Satechi hub was superficial. I assumed that if the reader got power it would be readable and that is not what happened. I tested it initially on my wife's new M1 Mac a couple of weeks ago and the Clara HD got power. When I connected it on my new M1 this week power the Clara got power but never mounted or appeared in Calibre. I apologize for my misleading information.
What finally worked was an old Micro Innovations USB 2.0 hub I had lying around. In the end I connected the MicroInv hub to the Satechi hub which otherwise has worked flawlessly. Perhaps Kobo will eventually develop cable solutions for those of us with USB-C computers and micro USB readers.
