Reset Kindle to Factory: How to Soft and Hard

Reset Kindle

What's the difference between soft and hard reset kindle?

While both Soft and Hard Reset are used for troubleshooting and fixing

malfunctioning devices, they have their own unique effects on the device.

Restart kindle is also known as soft reset. This "soft" reset restarts

the Kindle software, but won't affect any of the documents or books you currently

have saved on the device.

Reset Kindle to Factory, also called hard reset, will remove all downloaded and

transferred content from your Kindle. You will still be able to download items from

the cloud.

In what cases do we need to restart or reset kindle device?
