There is reset and reset.
One is that push of the reset button with a paperclip. This is just forcing the restart of the processor. During restart all the registers in processor are reset to default values, address for "next to be run" machine-code instruction is re-set to default ... . This is equal to switching off the computer completely and then switching it on again. The *last* position in your *last* (the most recently read) book might be lost and when you open the book after reset you will start where you started when you opened the book last time before the reset.
Then there is Factory Reset and it usually requires user to press series of buttons, and to confirm the action, because this returns the memory and on-board storage to the state it was when it came from factory. This will delete all books, bookmarks, notes, even de-register the device from your account in book-store or Library. You typically do Factory Reset before you sell the device or when you mess with it and something goes wrong. This is equal to reinstalling notebook from a recovery DVD or a recovery partition.
