DEREGISTERING YOUR KINDLE
If you want to transfer ownership of your Kindle or return it for service or recycling,
you should deregister it to prevent unauthorized purchases. The process is similar
to the registration process described above. Just select “deregister” from the
Registration section and select “ok” to confirm. Note that you will not be able to buy
or download samples from the store, or use Basic Web if your Kindle is not registered.
You can also deregister your Kindle from the Manage Your Kindle page on
Amazon.com.
PERSONALIZING YOUR KINDLE
Your Kindle acquires a default name when it is first registered. This name is based
on your Amazon.com account name, and is displayed at the top of your Home screen.
If you want to edit this name on your Kindle only, follow these steps:
1. If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button.
2. Press the Menu button.

4. Move the 5-way down until “Edit name” is underlined. Press the 5-way to open the
text entry box.
5. Use the keyboard to change the device name.
6. When you have finished, move the 5-way to the right to highlight “Submit” and
press the 5-way to submit the change.
Tip: To add any personal information such as your contact information, navigate
with the 5-way so that “Edit personal info” is underlined then press the 5-way. Use the
keyboard to add your information, then select “Submit” when you have finished.
