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.
When Kindle joins a Wi-Fi network, you will see a Wi-Fi indicator at the top right corner
of the screen.
To join a Wi-Fi network that isn’t shown in the list of networks, select “enter other Wi-Fi
network.” Enter the network name and password (if required), and select “submit.” Press
the Symbol key to enter numbers or symbols not present on the Kindle keyboard.
