Skipping Registration during first set-up of Kindle Voyage.

bookreader1 · 08-30-2017, 11:31 AM

I just received a used unregistered Kindle Voyage FW: 5.8.7.0.1 and I managed to get into it without registering. The procedure for doing so was non intuitive.

1) Upon powering on, it forced me to enter credentials to connect to some WIFI. I didn't want to do this but seemingly had no choice. This was an apparent change from how my Paperwhite 1 worked where no WIFI connection was needed.

2) I was then forced to choose between entering my Amazon credentials, or create a new Amazon account.

3) I picked create a new amazon account. I then noticed a setup later button on the bottom left. That's it. I was now in the Kindle, without registering... although it did require my WIFI password.

Maybe this helps someone. I don't know if this method still works on the latest FW 5.8.10.

On the wifi setup screen, you can also hit the [x] in the corner. this will give you a setup later button as well.

If you don't setup your Kindle, you cannot use Collections.
