I bought a kindle using my niece’s credit card and think it’s registered in her name – Amy Ellis – I’ve tried to register it but am told that wifi connectivity is required for this task. Am unsure whether I have such a thing or whether my laptop computer – bought in March 2011 – has this facility. My impression was that there would be no hurdles in registering the kindle to myself instead of my niece.
Can you please advise me,
thanks
I have acquired my daughter’s Kindle. How do I register it in my name?
