Signing out of Kobo reset everything??

I signed out of my reader to try and sign in to another account I realized I had.

When I signed out, I assumed it would take me to a "sign in again" screen, bu instead it prompted me to set up my ereader again. There was no way to sign in without doing this.

Since I sideload all my books, it erased every custom setting because it had to set up again - collections, read/unread, current read. My books were all there, but none of the settings.

Why is signing out resetting everything? I would never have done it if I knew it was going to refresh my reader to this extent.

Part of what signing out does is to replace the database with a copy of the from factory database. So, yes, everything is going to be gone since any user information in the database would be tied to the previous account.
