Any easy way to take a screenshot for a Kobo Forma?
Connect your Forma to a computer. If a Mac or Linux computer, enable seeing hidden directories (filename starts with a .). Open the .kobo directory, then open the Kobo directory. Open the Kobo eReader.conf file with a text editor. If using Windows use a text editor that respects Linux style EOLs -- Notepad++ is my current favourite.

Once you have the file open in the text editor, look for a [FeatureSettings] header. If you see it, add Screenshots=true under it. If you don't see the [Feature Settings] header, add both it and the screenshots line.

[FeatureSettings]
Screenshots=true

With this in place, pressing the power button will take a screenshot. I would recommend after you finish with your screenshots, setting it to false.
