I didn’t test it yet, but I hope this would work.

I noticed since Kindle Touch times (FW 5.3.7) that restricting features via parent control also grays out Factory Reset option in Settings menu.

This is still true on 5.16.X, it was enough to restrict access to Goodreads.

I hope that this also prevents the pin-code factory reset, but didn’t test yet (need to back up the whole storage somewhere first…)
