Version — indicates which version of software your Kindle is using.

Your Kindle needs to be registered with your Amazon.com account information to  

use many of the Kindle features such as purchasing content. If your Kindle is lost  
or transferred to another user, you should deregister your Kindle from your account. 

The process to register or deregister is described below. You can also register or 

deregister your Kindle on the Manage Your Kindle page on:

http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle

If your Kindle is not already registered, follow these steps:

1.   If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button. 

2.   Press the Menu button. Make sure that Whispernet is turned on. 
3.   Move the 5-way down until “Settings” is underlined and press to select. 

4.   Press the 5-way to select “Register.” 

5.   You will see a text entry box at the bottom of the screen to enter your Amazon.com 

user name and password (the e-mail address and password associated with your 

Amazon account). Use the keyboard to enter in your information. 

6.   Navigate the 5-way to select “OK” to finish the registration process or “Cancel”  

to cancel your registration. 

Once registered, you can make purchases on the Kindle Store, convert personal 

documents on Amazon, 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.
