Properly Gift the Kindle Fire

With the Amazon Kindle Fire arriving at their final destinations over the past couple days, users have reported that it comes pre-set to use the Amazon account that made the initial purchase of the device.

There are several reported methods to remove account information from the Kindle Fire so that it is a clean slate when being purchased as a gift for others.

Designate the purchase as a gift during checkout.

This can be done in several places. The easiest and most prominent way is when you are first adding the item to your cart. There is another opportunity once it has been added to the cart. The final chance is right before the order is submitted for processing.
Deregister the device after ordering.
If you happened to have ordered the device already, you can still deregister the device. Simply go to amazon.com/myk and remove the Fire from your account.
Knowing that simply marking it as a gift in the initial stages of the purchase will remove registration information should help most in their quest for buying a great gift. Let us know if you find any other means to gifting the Kindle Fire.
