How to Deregister Kindle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
First, you will need to search for the \u2018deregister\u2019 setting on the device your Kindle account is on. These may not all be in the same place for each device. I will tell you where you can find this option if you are on your desktop, Kindle app, or Kindle device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deregister Kindle on Your PC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Open the Amazon homepage on your web browser and log in to your account. <\/strong>Once you\u2019ve done that, you will see a greeting with your name on the top right corner of the page.<\/li>
Under the greeting, you will see \u201cAccount and Lists.\u201d<\/strong> Move your cursor to the arrow beside this, and you will get a drop-down menu. Next, click on \u201cContent and Devices.\u201d<\/li>
Under \u201cManage Your Content and Devices,\u201d navigate to the \u201cDevices\u201d tab<\/strong>. Now you can view all your Amazon devices. This view will show you the Kindles connected to your Amazon account. <\/li>
Select the Kindle you want to deregister by clicking on its designated name.<\/strong> This will bring up the device summary page, which will show you the details of your Kindle.<\/li>
Click on the ‘Deregister’ button under the device settings. <\/strong>A pop-up window with a message from Amazon will appear with a list of consequences of deregistering your Kindle. Click on ‘Deregister’ again, and you’re all set! <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Deregister Kindle on a Kindle E-Reader<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To deregister from a Kindle tablet, you must first access the device settings. Depending on the type of Kindle you have, there are two ways to do this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swipe down the arrow at the top of your Kindle\u2019s homepage to access the notifications panel. <\/li>
Tap on the three vertically aligned dots on the display’s top left corner to access the menu.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Navigate to the \u201cSettings\u201d menu and select \u201cYour Account.\u201d You will be able to see your registered device name below this option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From here, tap on \u2018Deregister Device\u2019 to start the deregistering process. A warning message will appear telling you what will happen once you deregister your device. Press \u2018Deregister\u2019 to complete the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deregister Kindle on the Kindle App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Kindle application is available for users who don\u2019t have a Kindle e-reader but still want to use Amazon\u2019s e-book services. You can deregister the Kindle app on various devices, including your computer, phone, or tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Web Browser<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
To unlink a Kindle app using your web browser, you will need to go through your Amazon account again. Open up the Amazon web page and sign in to your account. The process is similar to deregistering a Kindle device from the browser, except this time you\u2019re looking for an app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Access the drop-down menu next to your name and select \u201cContent and Devices.\u201d<\/li>
Head to the \u201cDevices\u201d tab and select the filter to view \u201cAll devices and apps.\u201d<\/li>
Your \u201cDevices\u201d page will now show \u201cAmazon devices.\u201d Below it, you\u2019ll see \u201cAmazon apps installed on devices.\u201d<\/li>
Under \u201cAmazon apps,\u201d you will see the Kindle icon and the number of devices the app is installed on.<\/li>
Select the app icon and click on the \u201cDeregister\u201d option next to the device you want to unlink. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
PC Kindle App<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
You can unlink the Kindle app from the desktop version, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Head to the \u201cTools\u201d drop-down menu and click on \u201cOptions.\u201d<\/li>
Another window will open up with multiple tabs on the left side. From the sidebar, select \u201cRegistration.\u201d<\/li>
Click on the button to deregister the app from your account, and your account will be unlinked. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Android and iOS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
This process applies to phones running both Android and iOS. To deregister Kindle on the mobile app, you will need to open the app and select the \u201cMore\u201d option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will bring up several options. Click on \u201cSign Out\u201d to log out of your Amazon account on the app. You won\u2019t need to uninstall the app from your phone, as signing out will automatically remove your account\u2019s access to the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Does Deregistering a Kindle Do?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
When you deregister a Kindle, it means you are removing the e-reader from your Amazon account. Removing the device means it will no longer be associated with your account unless you register it again<\/strong>. After deregistering, Kindle services will be limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deregistering a Kindle will also remove any Kindle purchases you have inside the device. So books, audiobooks, and any documents you might have in the e-reader will get deleted along with your account data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, any purchases from the Amazon store will remain available to you on the cloud. This means you will only need to manually back up items you uploaded into the Kindle, such as those via a USB cable or email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally, people decide to deregister Kindle from their accounts because they no longer wish to use the device. After deregistering, Amazon recommends that you perform a factory reset to wipe all personal data from the e-reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reasons Why You Might Want to Deregister Kindle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Learning to deregister Kindle is helpful, as you might need to do it one day. Amazon requires all Kindle users to register their devices with an account before they can be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
