Depending how they reset they are given one of two warnings-

1) if they went to settings- account- sign out they got:

“Any reading progress, highlights, or notes since your last sync on (date + time) will be lost.”

Which is what happens, any sideloaded content will remain but until you log back in will be inaccessible. It would be nice if they made specific mention of sideloaded contents notes, reading progress, etc. also not being synced. But this is typical of ereaders.

2) if they opted for a software factory reset they’d have gotten this:

“All books, documents and custom settings will be deleted from this device”

Again pretty straight forward.
