Before you can start buying books from the Kindle store, you’ll have to make sure your Kindle device is registered. If you bought your Kindle directly from Amazon, it will likely arrive registered because it’s already associated with your Amazon account. However, if you purchased a Kindle from another retailer or received one as a gift, you’ll need to register it.
Steps to register your Kindle
Registering your Kindle simply means that you’re linking it with your Amazon account. This makes it possible for you to buy books from the Kindle store, lend books to your friends and family, and transfer content you buy on Amazon directly to your device. The registration process includes just a few simple steps:
- Connect your Kindle to Wi-Fi.
- A screen should appear with a form to register the Kindle.
- In the labeled fields, enter your Amazon account information.
- For some Kindle models, you might also need to input your device’s serial number. To find this, navigate to the Settings menu and select “Device Info.” You can copy and paste the number from there.
- Tap “Submit” after filling out all the information.
