The Kindle app for iPhone, iPad, and Android doesn't have a specific button to log out or log out - users must instead unenroll their device. The procedure allows you to disconnect it from the associated Amazon account, thus removing the ability to make purchases through this profile or view the content purchased with it. Once you have canceled the registration (which is the most similar procedure to the actual logout), you can log in and register the device with a different or the same account. You can also deregister Android devices via your Amazon account, a feature that prevents other users from accessing it if your mobile or tablet is lost or stolen.
