  4. A new page with three tabs will pop up. Click the middle tab labeled “Your Devices”
  5. If you have a Kindle or the Kindle app, an icon for it will pop up! Click the icon (so it’s selected with a red square). Once you do this, the special Kindle email address Amazon has given you will show up below. It will look something like this “Email: (Your Amazon User Name)@kindle.com”
  6. Copy that email address! It’s the one I need to send you a free ARC!
