You could give it to a retirement community, your public library, a serviceperson overseas, a youth center…there are so many possibilities! You are definitely going to deregister it in this case. 😉 You don’t have to do that, of course…up to you. Kindles have remarkably retained their value…unlike a user computer. Document the “com s” (comparable prices people are getting for a similarly aged model on Amazon, Craigslist, eBay…that kind of thing). The big difference is that you might want to document your gift, so you can write it off. This is pretty similar to giving it away to someone you know. You’ll also want to redirect your subscriptions (blog, magazines, newspapers). If you want to give a “clean” Kindle that’s a lot easier. You’d have to manually remove the personal information, browser history (probably), password…yow! You’d have to remove the Kindle store files (don’t forget the “associated information” file…it will end with. If that’s the case, you can’t just blow out everything on the Kindle. That was part of the fun, by the way…it took a lot of work, but was worth it. When we first got a K1 for our offspring, I put about 200 hundred pd freebies on an SD card to go with it. Where it gets strange is when you want to give other books to Uncle Joe, which could certainly be okay (especially with books in the public domain). Amazon could stop letting you buying things from them, for example. Violating your Terms of Service is potentially a very bad thing.
Purchased Kindle content cannot be given as a gift.” “Remove all purchased material from the Kindle device. I know, I know…you’d like to give Uncle Joe copies of the books you bought, but it’s against your Terms of Service with Amazon. You also might have put personal documents on it, added a password, and changed the personal information.įirst, get anything files you want off the device. You can’t just hand it to Uncle Joe and say, “Here you go.” You know how you can buy books with 1-click directly from your Kindle (if you have a Whispernet connection)? You have to shut that part off, or Uncle Joe will be charging books to your account. Option 3: Give it to someone not on your account You can also use gift cards: 1-click draws from those before going to the credit card set up for 1-click.
Be aware that Kindle purchases are made through 1-click: if you want to use separate credit cards, you have to change them through your computer before you make a purchase. You may also want to change the name of your old Kindle to reflect who is using it now. Be aware that your subscription items (blogs, magazines, newspapers) won’t transfer automatically to the new Kindle. If you have other personal files (like pictures or books you got from some other sites) you want, you can copy them to the new device.
#KINDLE PERSONAL DOCUMENTS ACHIVED DOWNLOAD#
You don’t really need to do that, in my opinion…just download them from the archives as you want them. People talk about moving them over all at once. They are in the Archived Items on the homescreen on the new Kindle.
Preparation: you don’t need to do anything to make the books you’ve previously purchased from the Kindle store available. If both of you might read the same book, it means you can read them at the same time for one download price. Books you buy in the future will be available to both Kindles. All of the books you bought from the Kindle store will be available to both Kindles. This is what I did with my K1 when I got my K2. Option 2: Give it to someone else on your account Oh, and you’ll probably want to switch your subscriptions so they go to the new device. Preparation: none, except putting the things you want from the old Kindle on the new Kindle. 🙂 I do have an emotional attachment to objects like that, but I also like to see them go to other happy homes.
#KINDLE PERSONAL DOCUMENTS ACHIVED PC#
🙂 You could read on a Kindle reader app on your PC or Mac or iPad or iPhone…well, you get the idea.
I’ve had a Kindle lost or stolen, but my Significant Other (SO) nicely let me borrow back my old one. Some people are uncomfortable with the idea of being without a Kindle…even for a couple of days (which is how long it would take to replace one, if you paid for speedy shipping). I’m going to look at the options, then give you the how-tos. That begs the question: what do you do with your old Kindle? If you decide to get rid of it, how should you prepare it? From what I’m seeing, quite a few people seem to be upgrading from a Kindle 2, or even a Kindle 1, to a Kindle 3.
