How do I add my newly purchased kindle to my amazon account

You should be able to register with your account simply by logging in to the kindle app or kindle store with your amazon credentials on your new device. I don't recall if that is how it works with the paperwhite versions, but on the android based systems (even non-kindle devices) the device shows up on the amazon device management section of my amazon account on the website when I log in with my amazon credentials.



Good luck.

Register Manage Amazon Kindle Account

You can manage your devices in Account settings on the Amazon web site. When you try to log into your account on the new Kindle, it should create a unique device in your account.

In your Amazon account, ( If you don't have one, create one) simply login and click on the "Manage your Kindle" tab on the right of the screen, and then select the "my devices" option, where you can register or deregister your Kindle.
If your Kindle is second-hand, you'll need the serial number of your Kindle to register it in your name.

First, you need to deregister the Kindle from the old account.

Deregistering will retain the already downloaded books on the E-Ink devices but wipes all purchased content tied to the old account from e.g. Kindle Fire. You cannot restore books from the cloud anymore you purchased on the old account and access to the shop is blocked until the device is registered again. Other Kindle's on the same account and the account itself remain unaffected.

You can do the deregistration from the Kindle's settings menu --> Registration or alternatively from an Amazon web site:

Log in to http://kindle.amazon.com using the old credentials (email + password).

Next, select "Manage Your Kindle" from menu that opens when you hover the mouse over the "Hello, <Name>" link in the upper right corner of the page.

Click on the center tab "Your Devices" and review the list of Kindle devices and software readers tied to your account. Select the device to deregister and click on "deregister" below.

To register the Kindle to a new account, go online with the Kindle, and follow the registration procedure callable from the settings menu. Find a detailed description on
