  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!

  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.
