      Is your Kindle registered with your Amazon account?

    I’ve tried several times to deliver books to my sons Ipod, but it isn’t working. I’ve tried plugging it into the computer, but it won’t let me select the Ipod, that choice is grayed out. Not sure what else to try!

    My new phone does not show as an option for download from my Amazon Kindle account. I purchased a book but it was sent to an old phone. I deregistered that but how do I register a new one?

    I’ve had to change my Amazon account ( email and password) because they were compromised. I’ve actually had to do this twice! So then I had to register my Kindle account with the newAmazon login but now I’ve lost all books in the Kindle cloud! I’ve paid for all books so why can’t I still access them? My Amazon account is the only account that has been compromised-
