Pro Tip: I’ve had Kindle devices for many years and have written quite a few Amazon Kindle Help tutorials here on my site.(Pocket-lint) - The Amazon Kindle has established itself as a leading reading device and where you have reading, you hopefully have eager children.Īlthough real books, on paper, as well as using public libraries, should be something that all children experience, there's no denying that a Kindle has something to offer.īut a Kindle device, hooked into an Amazon account, offers a great deal of connectivity that you probably don't want your child to have.

After a minute or two to sync up the device, download the latest books, etc, I’m finally all set up and ready to go:Īs it happens, I’m eager to jump into Amor Towles’ new novel “The Lincoln Highway”, so I’m outta here! Your setup should be as straightforward too, and you too should be reading your next favorite book in no time. That’s the account I want to use, so I’m going to tap on “ Next” on the Paperwhite to proceed. Notice that the Kindle now displays the correct time too (in the previous Kindle Paperwhite screen it showed 4:25AM!) Tap on “Finish” and you’re done with your phone for this process.

If not, tap on your own network then enter the password to proceed. I don’t save any of my wifi network passwords on the Amazon system for security, but if you do have any already saved, that’s the easiest path. It’ll list all the visible Wi-Fi networks, along with any you might have saved on Amazon for device setup convenience: Your Kindle will want to access your local wifi network without any phone or computer involved, so that’s the next step, to pick the default wifi network for your new Kindle Paperwhite. Looks good? Then proceed with the steps on the phone app… Signed into the correct account? Great, tap on “ Link and Continue” on your phone.Īfter a moment or two, the Kindle device screen will update! SETTING UP A NEW KINDLE DEVICE WITH YOUR PHONE APPĪmazon refers to the login and setup process with a Kindle device as “registering it with your account”, so it’s no surprise that the app window refers to it as “Register Your Kindle”: So far, this is all about pairing your phone and Kindle. After a moment or two, the app should announce that it’s found the new device!įinally, we’re ready to actually start setup. The Kindle app will now search for your new Kindle device, so make sure they’re within a few feet of each other. Tap on “ Allow Bluetooth“, then the phone system itself will prompt you for permission. This occurs in two steps, first within the app:

You’ll see quite a few different settings and options, with the feature you want rather buried in the middle of the screen:Īgain, as highlighted, tap to enable “ Amazon Device Simple Setup” and it’ll request permission to access your Bluetooth connection. You’ll end up here:Īs highlighted, tap on “ Settings” to proceed. Go into the Kindle app, then tap on the “ More” button on the lower right. You can put the Kindle down for a bit, most everything for the next few minutes will involve your smartphone. No worries, though, I’ll walk you through all the steps. You should end up here:Īs shown, you can “Set up on this Kindle” but the far easier way is to “Set up with your phone”. Pull your Kindle out of its box - I filmed an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Unboxing when I unpacked my new device – and push on the power button. Ready? Let’s do this! ON YOUR KINDLE: TIME TO SIGN IN More likely than not, you’ve already done so, but double-check it’s ready to go before you proceed.

This means you need to download the Kindle app (not the Amazon shopping app, though you can grab that too if you want) then sign in to your Kindle account in the app on your Android or iPhone device. The trick is to get everything set up properly in advance on your smartphone. Ever since Kindle devices gained Bluetooth capabilities, however, the pairing and sign in process is quite a bit easier if you also have a smartphone with Bluetooth too.

If you had two-factor authentication (which I definitely recommend! See: How to Set Up 2-Factor Authentication on ) then you’d have to enter that code too. The first few generations of Amazon Kindle devices had a fairly tedious sign-in process that involved you choosing your Wi-Fi network, entering that password, then entering your Amazon account and password pair.
