How Does a New Kindle Paperwhite Get Registered?
The first time you start your Kindle Paperwhite, you will be automatically prompted to register it as part of the Kindle setup process if you are attempting to register it.
You will be prompted to register your Kindle device after setting up the WiFi on your device. Either sign in with an existing Amazon account or sign up for a new one.
Step 1:
Select “Sign In with Existing Account” If you have ever used a Kindle app to read a free Kindle book, you probably already have a Kindle account. If this is the case, the books cannot be transferred between Kindle accounts, so do not create another one.
If you have forgotten your Amazon account password, simply attempt to sign in on a different device using your credentials, or reset your password.
Step 2:
- Enter Your Account Credentials In the following step, simply enter your account information, such as your email address and password, and then click “Register.”
- To continue, you will be asked to confirm the details.
- You will be asked to confirm that you want to connect your social networks to your Kindle if they are linked to your Amazon account. Additionally, you will have the chance to set parental controls. Later, you can complete both tasks.
- It’s over! Amazon now lets you buy books and other content and have it wirelessly delivered to your Kindle Paperwhite. After the wireless is turned on and the device registers itself, any content you purchased while you were waiting for your Kindle Paperwhite will appear on the Home screen.
A brief tutorial that teaches you how to use the touchscreen will begin after the registration process is completed. If you forget some of the information they provide, don’t worry.
The Home screen, which contains a welcome letter, the Kindle User’s Guide, and two built-in dictionaries, appears after the tutorial is finished. Additionally, any purchased content will be displayed.
