I sold mine and am preparing it to be sent.  Is there a way you are supposed to erase it?  I don't think the person receiving mine would appreciate the 23 pages of mostly samples and psychology articles!!

I don't know if there's an easier way, but I would 1) Deregister it on my Amazon account, then 2)hook it up to my pc and delete all the files in the documents folder

you could always do a factory reset.  Press and hold alt+r until the screen flashes and then quickly press the home key.  you'll see a screen come up with an option for a firmware reset.  It takes the K to it's original factory settings and erases all of the files in memory.
