I guess what your friend can do now is just go to Amazon.com and try to login with his Gmail email address, and his usual password. If he still cannot login to Amazon, then check the "Forgot Password" link and retrieve the password. Afterward, login again, go to "Manage your Kindle" and deregister the Kindle from that page. Hope it helps. Hi Fadi,

What seems to be the problem is that he is not aware of his account; it seems amazon created the account for him which explains that my kindle displays his name and a kindle email (which matches his gmail email but @kindle instead). He is asking me for guidance on where and how to login in and deregister, I tried finding out through the net but didn t get lucky. If you can guide me here it will be great as I can’t wait to have books on my kindle and start using it. Thank you one more time! Fadi Hi Micheal,

Since what you got is the International Kindle, so in your Amazon account, you can use your own address, Visa card etc. You need the US address and AMEX card only if you want to buy US Kindle books (usually more choices and cheaper). Hope it helps and enjoy your Kindle 2. Hi Fadi,

Register / deregister your Kindle to the Amazon account from the website such that you can buy / download book is one thing; physically register your Kindle thru the Whispernet such that you can buy books from your Kindle is another thing. Please note the Whispernet relies on the Sprint network, and not everywhere are covered by it. Hope it helps and enjoy your trip. Hi Pieter,
