Just wondering if this has anything to do with the way many apps now are sandboxed
so for example with the address book
If I use the default settings for it with google, all data gets stored where the app specifically wants it, delete the app or reset and it takes the data away with it
If the data is sideloaded (address book from kies) then when the app is deleted, the data is from another source not tied into how the app wants it, so the app gets reset but the data remains ready to be imported to the app again
Not sure how the kobo e-ink devices work
signing off I would expect it to remove your kobo purchased books, but side loaded content I would expect to remain on the device (but would need to be re imported back to the library)
got me curious now, have an old Samsung phone, might need to try a rest and see what happens
