Deregistering your old Kindle removes it from your Amazon account, meaning it will no longer have access to your purchased content or Kindle services. However, the content already downloaded on the device remains accessible until you manually delete it. If you plan to sell or give away the device, deregistering ensures the new owner can't access your account.
