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).

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..
