Hi everyone 
A friend gave me a brand new kindle unopened ( yes a lucky girl as I love my books ) trouble is when I tried to reg it was in some else's name but then the phone rang and screen had a grey picture on when I got back, I have been in touch with my friend and he has no idea as it was new. Please does anyone know how I sort this out :beer: x x it's been one of those days today
Thank you it's all sorted the reg page came back up was able to delete that and reg mine it's all working now as I can see the books I had on my iPad x x

Well it clearly wasn't brand new and unopened if it had already been registered by someone else, but if you're happy with it now I wouldn't worry about it.0
