The Settings contextual menu

When you're on the Settings page, tapping the Menu icon displays additional options:
Kindle Store: Takes you to the Kindle Store.
Update Your Kindle: Installs the latest software for your Kindle. This option is disabled if
there are currently no software updates available on your Kindle.
Restart: Restarts your Kindle. You will not lose the books, clippings, or other files stored on
your Kindle. In the event your Kindle freezes up, press and hold the Power button for 7
seconds until the Power dialog box displays and then select Restart. If the Power dialog box
does not display, press and hold for 40 seconds or until the LED light stops blinking.
Reset Device: Resets your Kindle to its original settings and restarts it. You should select this
action only if instructed to do so by Kindle Customer Service. Before you reset your Kindle to
its defaults, you must back up any personal documents that you'd like to keep. Once your
Kindle restarts, you will need to register and download your items from the Cloud. If you
want to passcode-protect your Kindle, you must also set up a passcode again.
