How to Register an iPad on a Kindle

Ebooks previously purchased on Amazon.com will be available to the registered iPad.

Kindle is Amazon's ebook reading and publishing platform. Alongside the dedicated Kindle ebook reader, applications are available for smartphones--such as Androids and iPhones--and for tablet devices such as the iPad. In order for the iPad to access the online Kindle ebook store, it must be registered to an existing Amazon user account. Once registered, ebooks can be purchased and downloaded directly from the iPad application.

Things You'll Need

• Amazon.com user account

Instructions

1. Register an account at Amazon.com; if you already have an Amazon account, take note of your username and password.

2. Launch the App Store app on the iPad and search for "Kindle." Tap the "Install" button on the Kindle page; tap it again, to confirm its download and installation.

3. Launch the Kindle application, by tapping its icon on the iPad's home screen.

4. Tap the "i" button in the lower-right corner of the screen, followed by the "Settings" option.

5. Enter the username and password of your Amazon account in the relevant boxes and tap the "Register" button. The iPad will now be registered to your Amazon account, and have access to its payment methods and previously purchased content.

Tips & Warnings

• The iPad's Kindle application will remain logged into the Amazon account indefinitely, and it will not need registering each time it's used.
