It's not? One of the pics on Kobo's web site show one next to the USB port.

Performing a manual factory reset

If a basic reset and a factory reset don't work, you can try a manual factory reset to restore your eReader to its original settings. After a manual factory reset, you'll need to set up and sync your eReader again. Before you perform a manual factory reset, charge your eReader for at least four hours.
  1. If possible, turn off your eReader.
  2. Note: If your eReader doesn't turn off, try pressing and holding the power button until you see Powered off on your screen.
  3. Insert a paper clip into the small hole beside the Micro USB slot and push gently.
  4. You'll feel a click and your eReader will reset itself.
  5. When you see square icons on the screen, insert a paper clip into the small hole beside the Micro USB slot and push gently.
  6. Repeat step 3 two more times.
  7. Your eReader's screen will turn black, and show a Critical error message. Don't worry, this is normal.
  8. Tap the check mark icon at the bottom of the screen to reset your eReader.
