and then reregister it.
If you don't yet have an Amazon account, you will need to create one before you register your Kindle. You can easily create an
Amazon account on your computer. Go to www.amazon.com/sign-in if you are in the US or countries other than the UK, or to
www.amazon.co.uk/sign-in if you are in the UK.

process. To create an Amazon account on your Kindle, follow these steps:
1.
If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button.

Press the Menu button. Make sure that Whispernet is turned on.

will be registered to 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 Web Browser 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.

Wi-Fi Network Settings

Wi-Fi Network settings let you join a Wi-Fi network to connect to Amazon Whispernet. Connecting to Whispernet through a
Wi-Fi network offers fast downloads, free delivery of your personal documents, and allows your Audible audiobook purchases
to be delivered wirelessly to your Kindle, with no computer required.
To join a Wi-Fi network, select "view" next to "Wi-Fi Settings" to display a list of available networks. If a networks requires
you to enter a password, a lock is displayed next to "connect". Select "connect" to join a network. If prompted, enter the
network password, and click "submit". Kindle does not connect to enterprise networks or peer-to-peer networks.
Once you join a Wi-Fi network, Kindle automatically connects to it whenever that network is in range. If more than one
previous network is in range, Kindle joins the one most recently used.
