“I got the Kindle Fire as a gift, it’s been registered to the person that bought it for me. How do I unregister it?”
When a person purchases the Kindle Fire as a gift and forgets to mark it as a gift it will be registered to that buyers account. You’ll need to remove that person’s account from that Kindle before you can register it.
There are two ways to deregister your Kindle, online with a computer or directly from the device.
How to deregister via computer:
- Head over to the Manage Your Kindle webpage.
- Select ‘Manage Your Devices’.
- Find the device you want to unregister. Select the ‘Deregister’ link next to it.
How to deregister directly from the Kindle Fire:
- Make sure your device is connected to the internet using Wi-Fi. Select the ‘Quick Settings’ icon.
- Select the ‘More’ icon.
- Select ‘My Account’.
- Now hit the ‘Deregister’ button to finish the job.
