Is there any way to surf on a Kindle without setting up an Amazon account and making up a password. . .???
I haven't actually tried going without an Amazon account, but the Kindle manual implies that setting up an Amazon account and registering a device is optional, and only necessary if one wants to buy and download ebooks directly from Amazon. By "surf on a Kindle" I assume you mean using the Kindle's built-in "Experimental" web browser to access the internet directly and download books directly from internet sites such as Gutenberg.org, which should be possible without an Amazon account. Maybe someone getting a new Kindle can actually try and confirm that it is possible to use the web browser prior to registering a device? [I'd hate to have to deregister a Kindle which I have already registered just to check this out]
