The pinhole isn't used for a factory reset. All it does is force restart of the device. Doing a factory reset from the setting has change with the latest release. Before it wiped everything back to the out-of-factory state. Now, it doesn't wipe the root partition. To do that, you need to use the manual method I pointed to.

It responds at all times if plugged in or connected to Wifi, so yes. Any set up can be chosen.
No, I meant after the factory reset and the setup is displayed, does the touch work when the device isn't plugged in?

I wasn't able to locate the files you referred to.
Here's a screenshot of the directory:
Attachment 173130

I've just done another reset. No change.
The files I am referring to are put on the device as part of the firmware update process. If you do it WiFi, you won't see them as they are removed once the update is finished. If you do the setup using the Kobo desktop applicaiton, it will copy the files onto the device. You can remove them before ejecting to prevent the firmware update.
