Restore Kindle 3 to defaults

Peppery · 10-08-2011, 05:22 PM

Hi there,

I want to restore my Kindle 3 to factory defaults. I understand that the menu option will just restore the user partition, and I didn't make an image of the device before I started playing around with it either.

Is there a way to redownload the software? or, failing that, if I buy another Kindle 3G, could I copy the firmware onto my current one? My original Kindle is a United States one, but the new one would be an international/New Zealand one.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
