That erases anything and everything the user has ever done. The factory reset in the menu erases nearly everything. In Kindle speak they are two different things. It is called tech stuff for those that only speak baby Geek. |

Two of them are still a mystery. But the "restore" one is the really big stick. The "reset" one is just a firm poke with a small, sharp, stick. |

That's a lot. You know, last my Kindle was Kindle DX, long time ago. I used to have Kobo all the time, and now I don't know all that tricks with latest Kindles.

(They have to do it, the local SO setting on your Kindle is just a copy from their system.) The facts they need to know: Your address (I.E: you are not in a country where S.O. is offered). You purchased the device: "Refurbished, like New". Once that is done, then after the next time the Kindle connects to the Internet, Amazon's system will remove the S.O. stuff from it. |
