Kindle's "Reset to Factory Defaults" does NOT Reset to Factory Defaults

I was having some trouble today with a mod for my Kindle DX, and I finally said "fuck it!" and decided to reset the thing to its factory defaults. After all, I can just re-register it to my Amazon account, and re-download all the books I bought. That will solve my problem. Right? Wrong!

Even after resetting it to defaults (twice!*), the mod I was having issue with was still installed. I'm sorry Amazon, but an installed hack is not what I call "factory defaults".

* In the middle of re-registering my Kindle after the first reset, the screen blinked and all my information was back, as if I had never reset it in the first place. I wasn't even done inputting my password yet.
