Hi

I recently bought a Kindle DX on Trade Me. The previous owner deregistered it and I have reregistered it to my Kindle account.

I have bought quite a lot of books for it that I have had to download through my computer.

I cannot access anything on it wirelessly but I can download wirelessly to my iTouch, also registered with Kindle, via my broadband connection.

On the DX, the only two items shown on the Settings page are the Device Info and Registration. The registration paragraph just says "not registered" even though the device is in fact registered with Amazon.

Is there any way I can get the Dx to work wirelessly, as I want to subscribe to a magazine that is only delivered wirelessly, unless you buy single copies at more than twice the price?

PS I have just ordered a 6" wi-fi 3G Kindle3 for my wife. I hope she does not have the same problem downloading away from the computer.

Thanks for any advice given!

On Amazon's page it seems the DX is not supported in NZ yet.

I just got my Kindle 3 (not DX, WiFi-only) yesterday and it downloads books fine through WiFi.
