What happens when you delete your Kindle account
Here’s what happens when you delete your existing Amazon account on your Kindle while changing accounts.
- All books purchased on the account will also be removed from Kindle. Note, however, that you can still access these books if you re-add the account on your Kindle.
- Manually added books, those not purchased on the Kindle store, will remain on your device. However, reading progress on these books will be reset.
- We observed that some device settings associated with your Kindle account were reset after we deleted the account.
- You will lose all other benefits you used on your account, like Kindle Unlimited, Prime Reading, etc.
In short, you will lose access to all the online services your Kindle account offers. You can only use Kindle to read books you’ve added offline. If you’re okay with that, move on to the next section.

How to add a new account on Kindle
To change your Amazon account on your Kindle, you’ll need to add a new account after deleting an existing one. However, unlike deleting an account, you can only add new accounts to the Kindle reader on the reader itself, and not through the Amazon web or mobile apps.
Step 1: Tap anywhere on the screen and select the down arrow at the top part of the screen.
Step 2: Tap on all Settings.
Step 3: Tap Your Account.
Step 4: You will see two options – add an existing account or create a new account. Select the relevant option and enter the required credentials.
If you want to create a new account, we recommend using the Amazon app on your mobile device or PC. Entering all the details for a new account is a cumbersome process on your Amazon account.
