Yes, I have the same issue. The icon of Bluetooth is always off. However, I tried to telnet to my Elipsa. I used bluetoothctl show and bluetoothctl info to check bluetooth status. The controller and device are all at on and paired state. Then, I tried to check bluetoothd daemon. The /libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd was running so I tried to kill it. When I killed it, the system rebooted.

I think the Bluetooth of Kobo is not good enough. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are combined closely, and Kobo software does not handle it perfectly. This is why Kobo does not say their device can support for Bluetooth devices (mouse, keyboard, page turner).
