Stupid Kindle config question

[fivemack]

I managed to break my Kindle 3G-with-keyboard (put a light rucksack on its back when it was face-down on a train seat, found the screen broken when I picked it up); Amazon sent me a replacement basic Kindle wifi for £50, which isn't unreasonable.

But on the Kindle 3G, when a book that I'd pre-ordered came out, it downloaded as soon as I connected to wifi and appeared in the home page of books currently on the device, generally right at the top of the list. On this one, when a pre-ordered book comes out it appears in 'archived items' in the appropriate position for its title, so I don't know anything's happened for ages.

I imagine there are lots of Kindle owners reading this: is this a configurable behaviour that I can configure back to the previous, desireable one?

It is set to go to the Kindle that you ordered it for. It might continue to do that for the books you ordered when you had the old Kindle. Make sure you have deregistered the dead kindle.

The dead Kindle no longer shows up on the 'my devices' page on amazon.co.uk; there was the option to deliver new subscription content to a particular device, which I've pointed at the new Kindle, but I couldn't obviously see one for delivering new purchased content.
