Getting Registered
If you bought your Kindle with your Amazon account, it is already registered with your
account information and you are ready to go. When you go to the Home screen, check
the top left corner of the screen to see if your Amazon name (the same one you see
when you are shopping on Amazon) is shown. If it says "My Kindle" instead of your
Amazon account name, you need to register your Kindle. To register, first press Home
to display the Home screen and then press the Menu button. Select "Settings" and then
select "register" on the page that appears to enter your Amazon user name and
password. If your Amazon user name or password contains characters not present on
the Kindle keyboard, press the Symbol key
