Hi! I've just recently resetted my Kindle and then restored my content saved by ImageUSB by Passmark.

The process was the following:

1. After resetting I typed my wifi password in order to "register" the device with my account.

2. I was waiting for a while and let it resync my content + I also used the menu option for this.

3. I restored the whole content with ImageUSB.

But several data hadn't been restored. Although I restored "everything", it forgot the contents of my collections. It showed my collections with their names but none of them had any items in it. So I manually had to add the contents to my collections. (annoying)

It also forgot the browser bookmarks, the correct time and default dictionary. (and I guess all the other settings in Settings)

So my question is: Where are all these data stored? I'm totally sure: at least not on its main partition.

But I think this would be the situation with other Kindles as well. (I mean: some information can't be backed up by simply imaging the content of Kindle's main partition) Why can't you restore everything as it was? (or at least the collections)
