Deleting kindle 3 completely ???
Hello, Is it possible to erase completely my K3 in order to start anew. I do not mean a simple reset but thoroughly deleting the system and reinstalling?

Factory defaults at fault
The reason why I want to erase is that the simple reset, or factory default command (which I've just tried once again to no avail)do not give me a working system: I cannot create collections and there is only one page on the settings menu. let me add that I did install Duokan at some point but only because and after some update (to 3.1 I believe) messed everything up. I gave up on Duokan because it is rather difficult to use the dictionary, I mean, to read html pages with all tags showing. other than that I installed no hack or jailbreak or app: nothing! Just Amazon's BS!

That's because after you've done a factory reset, your Kindle is no longer registered. Once you've re-registered it by logging back in with your Amazon account details, you will be able to create collections and the "Settings" menu will expand to its normal 3 pages.

Please read what I said above:
THE REASON YOU CAN'T CREATE COLLECTIONS IS BECAUSE YOUR KINDLE IS NOT REGISTERED. Is that clear enough? |

Thanks
It was that simple: let me "recover" from this and I'll jailbreak for good or swwitch to Duokan. I'm bloody tired of Amazon's dictatorship. I bought the device to read, not to screw around with petty bureaucrat 'moroneria'.
Thank you |

I bought mine for reading and it's been great. Now tell us how you got into this "situation".
