title_body: Do I need an Amazon account to use a Kindle? I am looking to buy a Kindle Paperwhite (7th gen).  Do I need an Amazon account for it to work? I just want to put books on it from my PC.  I cannot create an Amazon Account because I have no credit card, so will my Kindle register without it?
upvoted_answer: You don't need a credit Card to register your amazon account.
  With amazon account, it is much easier to send your personal books to your kindle:
  
  
  send books an an attachment to your personal amazon email
  Use browser extensions to send webpage directly to your kindle
  
  
  Alternatively you can send books via USB cable to your kindle without using an account.
