Once registered, you can make purchases on the Kindle Store, convert personal
documents on Amazon, use Basic Web, and take advantage of other
Amazon-sponsored services. If your Kindle has incorrect registration information,
deregister the device and then reregister it.
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. Make sure Wireless is turned on and select
"deregister" from the Registration section and select "deregister" 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. Any content already on your Kindle can still be read.
You can also deregister your Kindle from the Manage Your Kindle page.
Personalizing Your Kindle
Your Kindle acquires a default name when it is first registered. This name is based on
your Amazon account name, and is displayed at the top of your Home screen. Before
you edit this name on your Kindle, make sure that wireless is turned on.
If you want to edit this name from your Kindle, follow these steps:
1. If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button.
