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.
