How can I delete all evidence of previous books on my Kindle? - Page 2

Hi! Install the usbnetwork hack, so you can use a linux terminal. There's a folder, where all of your previosly opened books can be found (some kind of indexing and last page storage). Factory reset will not clear that folder IMHO.

Interesting. It seems intuitive that resetting to factory default would remove those files, and then all that would be needed would be a wiping of empty space. But who knows.

If someone who has already installed that hack ever gets a chance to test this, it would be great to hear the results.

Yes, I would like to know this, too. Maybe we need to ask a few more questions in the Developers' forum

Leave everything on except the Al Qaeda Handbook. I know you're not a terrorist but Amazon might pass it on to the police saying you were reading a Al Qaeda Handbook.

If you're going to leave the Al Qaeda Handbook you should leave some really sick porn on there too; just for legitimacy sake. Oh bookmark a link to "2 girls 1 cup" in the browser! That will work!
