Is this possible? I think I've been bit by the battery bug in 3.0.1 and I would like to see if a factory reset will help, but I'd rather not lose my reading stats if I can help it. So I was wondering if the following procedure should get me there -- does anyone have any experience with this?

Delete all the books from the device
Reboot
Back up the database
Factory reset
Upgrade to the same firmware version I have now (3.1.1)
Restore the database
Reboot
Put the books back

Does it sound reasonable or am I in for an unpleasant surprise?
