Unless it had a backup flash or ROM. Depends on the hardware architecture, I guess. My co. uses Axis Etrax processors, which have a built-in recovery mechanism - you can force the processor into network or serial reflash modes by closing certain circuits. I don't know if there is a similar way of getting things to normal in the Reader, it wouldn't be too expensive to put something like a 16MB extra flash chip in there for full recovery to a known "original state"...
