Then you only have to sign back in and reload your screensavers, side loaded dictionaries, and config file, not all the side loaded books. (But you do have to wait for it to scan them, and it might take several passes.)

And with a little foresight, you can move the dictionaries and screen savers aside so you don't have to reload those either, just rename them back.

Also, it might be my imagination, but it seems like over time the kobo gets slower and slower, and compressing the database doesn't completely restore the speed. But rebuilding a fresh database does.
Sign out/sign in does not remove sideloaded content. You are thinking of a factory reset (either of the three possibilities).
