Add the following to the config file:

[DeveloperSettings]
EnableDebugServices=true
This writes to a file in the .kobo directory with name including the timestamp, such as "syslog-2015.06.10-20.41.21". It gets written when you restart or connect to the PC. Plus the last two or three firmware versions have a button to save the log on the "Device information" page of the settings.

If anyone you add this, watch the battery. This also enables telnet and if WiFi is active, it doesn't time out and the auto sleep/power off doesn't kick in. A sleep cover still works.
