I don’t have an M1 Mac yet, but I’ve been studying up on this. Most people fix this issue by doing as you did and getting an old usb 2.0 hub. Something in the way Kobo and Apple individually support USB 3.0 doesn’t play well together. However, I suspect that the culprit is newer USB 3 specs on the motherboards because I have also read where new PCs also have this incompatibility issue with Kobo devices.
