Set Up Your Kindle Keyboard

Before you begin using your Kindle Keyboard or if you reset your Kindle, you'll need to register your Kindle and set up your 1-Click payment method. To prevent accidental purchases and access to Kindle settings, it is recommended to also set up Parental Controls.

During setup, you'll connect your Kindle Keyboard to a wireless network, register your Kindle and set up your 1-Click payment method.
