As far as I can tell, the only difference is that the pinhole reset will mean the device starts immediately. The important thing is that, like pushing the reset button on a PC or pulling the power cord out, neither method attempt to save anything when they are done.

I really don't like the term "basic reset". As a term, I would actually expect it to be the same as a factory reset.

But, if you press the Light button while you turn off the Kobo with the Power button and then continue holding the Light button, it will perform a factory reset, which will wipe out the device.
Holding the light button down as you turn it off doesn't do anything. The factory reset is initiated because the light button is held down when you turn it on.
