If you've just discovered your Kindle will soon no longer connect to the internet, or will continue to do so but only on Wi-Fi, you might want to consider just buying a new one.Īs we've already said, Amazon is offering discounts if you're affected, and eligible people should have been emailed a voucher. Just note, the process will be slightly different depending on where you live, as Amazon's website isn't organized exactly the same in different countries. You can easily use this information with the above list, to see if your Kindle will remain working or not. Press 'Kindle', and under the name of your Kindle (that you named it when setting up the device, though it's possibly just called 's Kindle) will be the generation and model.

On this next page, the third toolbar down should show 'Content', 'Devices', 'Preferences' and 'Privacy Setting'.Ĭlick on 'Devices', which will bring up a list of all the Amazon products you're currently signed in to. In the top-left corner, under Amazon's logo, will be text saying 'All' - click this, then at the bottom of this resulting list, press 'Your Account'.įrom this menu, click 'Your Devices and Content', which should be the seventh item on the list, then under 'Things you can do' press 'Manage devices'. Using your computer, head to Amazon's website ( by clicking here (opens in new tab)). While you can do it via your Kindle, this requires knowledge of various Kindle serial numbers - but there's a much easier way.

Thankfully, it's easy to work out which type of Kindle you own. The above list will be pretty meaningless to you, unless you actually know what type of Kindle you have - and unless you remember when you bought it, it's unlikely you'll have a clue.
