Factory reset is bricking the device? Did I read that correct?

Welcome to the future where you will rent everything and be happy about it!

It doesn't brick it, it purges the content, and you won't be able to restore it through Amazon. You'll have to use your local book manager and archive (you have those of course).

Yeah I figured, it's poorly written in this statement. Like the whole device becomes unusable.

oh no i hope people don't all read it like that and buy a new device because they think the old one will become unusable, that would be terrible!
It sure is a shame our massive worldwide corporation doesn't have the resources to write less confusing messages, but there's nothing to be done about it, how saaaaaad..
