No worries, though, I’ll walk you through all the steps. You should end up here:Īs shown, you can “Set up on this Kindle” but the far easier way is to “Set up with your phone”. Pull your Kindle out of its box - I filmed an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Unboxing when I unpacked my new device – and push on the power button. Ready? Let’s do this! ON YOUR KINDLE: TIME TO SIGN IN More likely than not, you’ve already done so, but double-check it’s ready to go before you proceed. This means you need to download the Kindle app (not the Amazon shopping app, though you can grab that too if you want) then sign in to your Kindle account in the app on your Android or iPhone device. The trick is to get everything set up properly in advance on your smartphone. Ever since Kindle devices gained Bluetooth capabilities, however, the pairing and sign in process is quite a bit easier if you also have a smartphone with Bluetooth too. If you had two-factor authentication (which I definitely recommend! See: How to Set Up 2-Factor Authentication on ) then you’d have to enter that code too. You’ll enjoy it on your new Fire, too.The first few generations of Amazon Kindle devices had a fairly tedious sign-in process that involved you choosing your Wi-Fi network, entering that password, then entering your Amazon account and password pair. So even if you’re planning on changing the devices soon, don’t let that stop you from purchasing new books and audio. Thanks to your Amazon account, everything that you’ve purchased stays on the Cloud, and you can easily transfer it to a different device. If you ever want to upgrade to a better version of Kindle Fire, or if you want to switch to some of the recent Fire OS devices, you don’t have to worry that you’ll lose the content.

Click ‘Hello, Sign In’ at the top-right of the page.If you want to confirm that the Kindle Fire is registered to your account, you can check it on the official website. However, the content will remain on the Cloud so when that account registers to another Kindle Fire, all the files can be downloaded again. This includes all downloaded books, audiobooks, apps, and other content that belong to the previous account. Note: When you deregister the account, it will automatically remove all the data connected to the account from the device.
