How many hours does that take?

If not a couple, I think an expert could bring most contents back.

Completely filling the device with long documents containing random characters, before the reset, would make an forensic examination almost impossible. To make it completely impossible, you'd probably have to run the delete program on a different computer (Fire = computer) than the one whose data is being deleted off of.

My guess is that Amazon does something more extreme than the factory reset before selling as an Amazon Warehouse Deal. But if I feared someone was going to make a serious effort to see what was on my Fire before I sold it, I'd also fear that they'd know how to recover reset contents.
