At last, my Kindle Fire HDX 7” has arrived in the post (I live in New Zealand).

Okay, I have an existing “old” registered Kindle reader, but from what I have read, it would benefit me to have our new Kindle Fire registered in the USA , ie more free apps/books/films, more titles available etc etc.

Is this still the case, as the threads I have read here about this maybe outdated somewhat. Oh, the Kindle was bought as a “gift” (mainly for my wife when she goes into hospital), so I didn’t register it automatically at purchase.

I’m not wanting to undermine Amazon (I read the rules of the forum), and I’m only asking along the same lines as what has been asked/discussed here on Mobile Read forums previously, but obviously would like up to date information relevant to the newer Kindles. Also, I’m guessing that there are newer and better ways to go about things than previously discussed.

I have only switched on the unit to see if it works, and have now turned it off again and put on charge…. I’m afraid to log on to my wireless network, or begin the registration process even, until I have some sage information from those here who are far brighter than myself.

Thank you...
