(Including books, notes, bookmarks, etc. etc.)

The "factory defaults" only included one book: "The Kindle User's Guide" and that is the only one that will be on it when the erasing is done.
Good advice. I would hope Amazon have included a "do you really want to do this message", but for obvious reasons I haven't tried it.
