Registering or Deregistering Kindle
Your Kindle needs to be registered with your Amazon account information to use many
of the Kindle features such as purchasing content. If your Kindle is lost or transferred to another user,
you should deregister your Kindle from your account. The process to register
or deregister is described below. To register or deregister your Kindle on the Manage Your Kindle
page, go to www.kindle.com/support, then click on “Manage Your Devices” on the left side of the
page.
