Option 2: Use your own Kindle account
You may set up a free account for yourself on Amazon and register this Kindle to your account. (or use your existing Amazon account) This will allow you to test the shopping features, and download add your own free or paid ebooks to the Kindle.
First you will need to deregister this Kindle from the MIT Libraries account.
To De-register: Click Home button, Menu button, select "settings", then "deregister."
(Joanne will register it back to the MIT Libraries account when you return it).
The books we are including for the MIT Libraries account are all in the public domain. Please leave them on the device, so we don't have to load them up again for the next personloan.
On your computer, go to https://www.amazon.com/, your account/manage your Kindle. Follow their instructions under "register a new Kindle."
To put your previously purchased Kindle books on this Kindle, from your computer, go to the "manage your Kindle" page on Amazon's site (while logged in to your own account). There is a list of all your previous purchases, and from there you can use the "deliver to..." menu to send particular books to this Kindle.
