Personalizing Your Kindle - Amazon KINDLE Manual

Once registered, you can make purchases on the Kindle Store, convert personal
documents on Amazon.com, 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. 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.
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.
2. Press the Menu button.
3. Move the 5-way down until "Settings" is underlined and press to select.
4. Press Next page to navigate to the "Device Name" setting, underline "edit", and
press to select.
5. Use the keyboard to change the device name.
6. When you have finished, move the 5-way down to highlight "save" 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" next to Personal Info is underlined and then press the
5-way. Use the keyboard to add your information, then select "ok" when you have
finished.
