I think it is time for the companies to stop including cables. Most of us buying these devices will have a suitable cable. And if we don't, we can buy one that suits us. Nowadays, the only reason these cables get used here is so that I can be lazy and leave them in different places around the house. And I don't need more as I have several still in the original packets. Which came with other devices and have never been used. And nearly thrown out in a couple of cases as I hadn't noticed the cable when I got the device and only found them when I ripped up the box to put in the recycling.

Personally, I would like/need a USB-A to USB-C cable included. I currently only have one usable cable.
Seeing as this is their first USB-C device (I won't count the Elipsa), it makes sense to include a cable.
I also assumed Kobo included a cable for support reasons. From their website:

Before using your Kobo eReader for the first time, you should charge it for at least one hour.

I would think most ignorant users would assume they can use a device right of the box without having to run out (or wait for delivery) for a cable.
For micro USB cables I don't care, but I still need some USB-C cables.
