Assuming you
can brick it. I refuse to believe it until I see proof (and no, halt-and-catch fire viruses on rooted devices don't count).
Also, bricked, as people use the term today, usually doesn't mean that the manufacturer can't restore it to working order. Amazon would simply be out a little bit for shipping.

If it is bricked, then you obviously can't reach the menu. Anyway, reset is different than recover. The Nook Color, for example, can have a special SD card that you pop in to restore the system. It also has some extra space reserved for software to do the same if it detects your device is turning on properly. I'm sure Amazon's engineers can use a plug (perhaps not USB) to restore a device, but is the device itself so smart?
