You'll reboot to "My Books" and totally bypass registration permanently.
I saw in another thread that the bypass feature only works on newer firmware. I don't remember the number, but it was something like 4.31 or thereabouts. I updated my Aura H2O Edition 1 yesterday because it was on firmware 4.15, supposedly too old for the bypass to work. It updated to 4.35.20400, so supposedly if I need to reset it now registration can be bypassed.

Do you know if the newer firmware requirement is accurate? I have another one I haven't updated yet.
