The same way as all the other Kobo devices. Holding the power button down for at least 10 seconds will force it off. Then you can turn it back on again.

At $800, that's not a very wide release.

Guys, from Italian review I didn't understand does One include internal micro sd slot?

Quote:
Però attenzione: non c'è il lettore microSD e la memoria interna è saldata, non più su slot. Come faccio a saperlo? L'ho smontato: ho fatto saltare il pannello posteriore con una vecchia smart card.

Yes, thanks @frostshutz!

Is eMMC likely to be faster or slower than the internal SD cards in previous Kobos?

He says it has a 1200 mAh battery. How does that compare with other ereaders?

Oh, kept reading and further on he says other readers have 1500 mAh. Not good, Kobo.

Maybe later models got a larger capacity battery (or the other way around)??? I'm just going by teardown photos I've found online.
