KINDLE USER’S GUIDE 4

th

 EDITION

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.

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. 

If you want to edit this name on your Kindle only, 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.   Move the 5-way down until “Edit name” is underlined. Press the 5-way to open the 

text entry box. 

5.  Use the keyboard to change the device name. 
6.   When you have finished, move the 5-way to the right to highlight “Submit” and 

press the 5-way to submit the change.
