Make sure your kindle's firmware is updated to the latest available. Go here to check the latest available version for your specific device. Note: This step is essential, as older kindles won't connect to wifi unless they are running the latest firmware.
Step 2:
Log in with your Amazon account as normal, for the purposes of this explanation, lets assume Tony is registering a kindle keyboard, he would then type his email and password, like so:
At the end of this step you should get a prompt saying that said Amazon account does not exist or something similar, ignore this.
Step 3:
This step varies depending on whether or not you have two factor authentication (2FA) on, in any case you WILL receive a six-digit one time passcode delivered to your account's associated mobile number. For the sake of this example let us assume the code is 654321.
so, If you have 2FA ON: log in again, only this time do it adding the six digit code at the end of you password.
or, if you DON'T have 2FA on, simply replace your password with the code
Step 4:
You are in, now restart your device. This is not strictly necessary but sometimes the kindle won't show your archive or download ebooks until being restarted.

You may not have to restart. I've found with my Kindle Touch That once you have WiFi on, to see the latest books it's best to switch to a different order and then switch back to recent. That works to allow me to see what's new without a restart. The problem seems to be that the Kindle is not reading list of books properly until you change the order. Then it sees the books at Amazon. So when you go back to recent, you can see what's new. Another thing I've noticed is that it's best to download one book at a time. Do not queue up multiple books for download. I've had the occasional book get stuck when I've selected multiple books at once.
