A factory reset can be initiated if you restart the Kobo and tap repeatedly in the lower two corners. However that tapping needs to happen pretty quickly once you've started the reboot. I'm not sure if the screen would ever not be solid black while you attempt this game. If it's successful you'll be presented with an option to factory reset, again hopefully the screen would actually display this message. Anything on the device would be lost, however books purchased through Kobo and annotations and bookmarks that were synced of those books would be restored when you signed into your Kobo account. Any sideloaded content and annotations of that content would be gone though.
That's not how you do a factory reset for the Aura Edition 2. The methods are described on https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...Aura_Edition_2.

@Dan5878: For finding the connect button, if you tap outside the dialog box, it will be dismissed. I think the safest is to start from the centre of the screen and moving straight down. Or, measuring my Glo, which has the same size and resolution as the Aura Edition 2, the centre of the button is 45mm from the left side and 25mm from the bottom.
