Unfortunately the update did not solve the connection problem. The Kobo recognises the Mac and reacts by proposing the connection and once the option is chosen, the message "connected and charging" appears on the Kobo screen. But the Mac does not display the Kobo which remains inaccessible, making it impossible to add books. The Wifi connection on the Kobo does not work properly and it fails to connect. It is strange that the internal SD card is recognised when it is taken out of the Kobo but the Kobo itself is not recognised.
There is no problem with the battery or the touchscreen. I have used an old USB hub connection but this Kobo is still not recognised despite changing cables and USB ports.

I am at a loss to understand this situation.
Do you have a Windows computer or know someone with one? It would let you know if the problem is your MAC or not.
