I would not be surprised if ereaders are better recognized when connected to a USB2 port of the PC. USB2 or USB3 should of course make no difference.

BTW, I do recognize it. Sometimes my Libra 2 is recognized as a USB mass storage device (correct recognition) and sometimes as a Linux device that you can't use/access on PC or transfer books.
My Kobo Glo HD has the same problem but less frequently.
Unpluging and replugging the usb cable usually works. Sometimes it requires a reboot of the ereader and connect the USB cable after the ereaders is on the home screen.

Have you tried USB Deview (from nirsoft) to remove the usb drivers. So that after a reboot of windows they are reinstalled as soon as the device is connected.
