While answering another question, I had to post a couple of pictures of my Kobo Glo screen; these were taken by photographing it with my smartphone.
I was wondering if there is some way to take a screenshot from the device itself, I.E. by pressing some combination of keys.

I tried the
[FeatureSettings]
Screenshots=true
thing on a Kobo Clara HD today.
The whole code has to be added, there is no [FeatureSettings] line.
It works, screenshots are added to the root directory, whenever the power button is pushed, without any notice.
But.
The function of the power button is replaced, the device can not be switched off anymore, when the set time runs out, it can not be woken up from Standby.
It can be woken up by connecting it to a PC.
Conclusion: This is not practical.

Yes it is possible if you change the code of your Kobo a bit. A broad explanation and functions is explained in this forum post on another website: Mobile Read Kobo.
You must add the following code to the file Kobo eReader.conf, located in the {device_root_dir}/.kobo/Kobo/ directory:
[FeatureSettings]
Screenshots=true
Then everytime you press the powerbutton, you will take a screenshot with your Kobo Glo. This image is then stored as a PNG in the root directory.
Hope this helps a bit!
