The shipping mode function in diags discharges the battery if it is higher than 70 percent charge. It does not change anything on the main partition to make it display the "shipping" image.

This shipping function is a good thing to do before shipping a kindle with a delivery service (lithium battery safety), and for long term storage (not using it for many months).

Lithium ion batteries like the kindles use actually have a longer overall lifespan if they do not have a full charge.
