Amazon has reworked and improved many aspects of the hardware and software in the Kindle, like increasing the screen's contrast and boosting the battery performance. One of the ways Amazon works to improve the device's software is by including several experimental options in Kindles, like an MP3 player and a Web browser. Use the Web browser within the Kindle to access your Amazon account, even if you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network. Depending on your Internet connection this process may take a long time.

Step 7

Move the Zoom tool to the top-right corner of the browser window and click the center button in the 5-way controller.

Step 8

Navigate the cursor to the "Your Account" link near the top-right corner of the screen, then click it. You must use the 5-way controller for this, and it may be difficult because there are so many links on the page the cursor will jump to. You'll know you've selected the correct link because the cursor will be on top of the "Your Account" link, and a rectangle appears around the words.
