9.2 Managing Your Kindle on Amazon
The Manage Your Kindle page is a versatile online tool you can use to view and manage your
Kindle content, personal settings, and account information. It can be found at:
http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle
(U.S. and other countries)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/manageyourkindle
(UK customers)
Features available on this page are specific to your country and may include:
• register or deregister Kindle devices to your Amazon account.
• edit information such as your Kindle’s name and e-mail address.
• review the list of computers or other mobile devices registered to your Amazon account,
so you can automatically sync your library of Kindle books with your computer or other
devices such as iPhone.
• add an approved e-mail address that allows you and your contacts to send personal
documents (such as Word and picture files) to your Kindle. To avoid spam, only contacts
on your Kindle approved e-mail list are authorized to send attachments to your Kindle.
• set the maximum charge allowed for a single personal document sent wirelessly to your
Kindle. Any personal document exceeding this charge will be sent to your @free.kindle.com
address and a notification will be sent to your Kindle.
• change your default 1-Click payment method for all Kindle transactions.
• change your home country, if you move to a different one.
• manage your active Kindle subscriptions.
• review your Kindle orders and individual charges.

last page read, even on another device. It will also keep track of any bookmarks, highlights,
or notes that you add so you can see them on another Kindle.
• loan books you have purchased to others. (May not be available in all countries.)
• buy a book as a gift and send it to a friend. (May not be available in all countries.)
