Body: <p>I have an old Paperwhite and I freak out every time I almost lose it.  Kindles are very personal.  Under my device options on Manage My Kindle I can only deregister it, which prevents people from buying books from it but, as I understand it, leaves all content on the device.  Does a Kindle e-reader model currently exist that allows for Remote Factory Reset?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
