Here's the procedure he gave me for resetting the device back to factory default:

Note: Performing this procedure will delete any content you have stored on the Reader.

1). With the reader off, using a paper clip or similar device, press in and hold the Reset button on the back of the unit for 5 - 10 seconds.

2). Release the reset button and power on the reader.

3). While the reader is booting, press and hold both the Volume Up and Mark Buttons. Continue holding until you see a screen asking you to confirm that you want to reset the device back to factory default (Press Button 5). Note: I had to hold down these buttons for about 60 seconds to get the confirmation screen. Also about half way through this process, you should see a blue light flash momentarly around the lower left Page button.

4). After you have confirmed you want to set the device back to factory default, the reader will turn off. Turn the unit back on and it will go through its initial startup which takes a minute or two.
I have become quite familiar with resetting my PRS 600 - as I talked with customer service about my EBL problems they have had me reset it a number of times.

Everything is the same in the above quote except for step 3. Instead of holding the Mark button. You hold the back button (looks like this "<") and the volume up button. You may have to hold it for up to 1 minute. It will ask you if you want to delete all content and reset it to factory settings... you then push the options button for "yes" and the screen will flash a few times then restart itself (no need to push the power button in my experience. You then get back to the original welcome screen and the initial setup of your reader.

Hope that helps.
