Managing Your Kindle Devices
You can add multiple Kindles to your account. Having two or more Kindles registered to the same account is useful if you and other family members have the same tastes in books. If you buy a book on one Kindle, you can read it on another Kindle at the same time without having to buy it again.
The Manage Your Devices page lists all your Kindle devices (including any Kindle apps installed on your computer, tablet, or phone). You can deregister a Kindle or change your Kindle’s name.
Deregistering a Kindle or Kindle App
If you decide to give away or sell your Kindle Fire, you should deregister it first. This removes the Kindle Fire’s access to your account and prevents the new owner from using your credit card information.
- From the Manage Your Kindle page, click Manage Your Devices.
- Locate the Kindle you want to deregister and click it.
- Click Deregister.
In the Deregister This Device pop-up, click the Deregister button.
Renaming Your Kindle Fire
You can change the name of your Kindle device to make it unique and distinguish it from your other Kindles.
- From Manage Your Devices, click the Kindle whose name you want to change.
- Click Edit next to the existing name.
- Enter a new name for your Kindle.
Click Save.
Turning Off Special Offers
Your Kindle Fire displays special offers and ads that appear on the screensaver and in the Offers heading of the Navigation bar. You can pay a one-time fee to remove these offers.
- In Manage Your Devices, locate the device you want to unsubscribe from special offers.
- Click Edit in the Special Offers column.
Click Unsubscribe Now with 1-Click. Your account is charged $15 to unsubscribe a Kindle Fire from these offers. The cost to unsubscribe other Kindle Devices varies.
Turning Off Whispersync
Whispersync keeps all your devices and Kindle apps synchronized. It synchronizes your reading position, notes, highlights, and more. If you personally use multiple devices or apps when reading a book, keep Whispersync turned on. If multiple people in your home read Kindles registered to the same account, disable Whispersync so that each device can maintain unique page positions, highlights, and notes for a book.
- From Manage Your Kindle, click Whispersync Device Synchronization.
Click Turn Off or Turn On to toggle Whispersync. This change takes effect immediately.
