If you want to have the extra features you get without registering your Kindle on Whispernet (won't work via USB networking), telnet to your device and run vi to create a new file called "reginfo" in /var/local/java/prefs

Add this to the file (substitute the items in caps with your own information).

<user_device_name>YOUR KINDLE'S NAME ON AMAZON</user_device_name>
<name>YOUR AMAZON EMAIL ACCOUNT</name>
<alias>YOUR KINDLE EMAIL WITHOUT THE @KINDLE.COM PART</alias>
</text>

Then reboot and you're good. Tested on a Kindle DX running 2.1
Hello
I create a reginfo file, then put it at my kindle root.
I telnet the Kindle
enable mntroot rw
Then i do:
cp /mnt/us/reginfo /var/local/java/prefs/reginfo
but get "No such file or directory"

Is it a wrong way?

Thanks
