I am trying to register an older kindle but it does not recognize my amazon account

Short summary:

Check your email, including spam/junk folders, for an email from Amazon containing a 6-digit code.
If you haven't received the code yet, wait for a little while and check spam/junk folders.
Once you receive the code, retry the registration process.
After successful registration, your device should display your name and "Instant Video" (or similar).
If the screen is blank, restart the device by holding down the power button for 40 seconds.
Your books should be accessible after the restart.

Could you please check for your Kindle model number? You can check it on the back of the device, where all of the information is. It’s usually towards the bottom.

Thank you so much!
Could you please check your email, even spam or junk folders, for an Amazon email? The email must contain a 6-digit code you need to use in place of your regular password to complete the registration.
