Kindle in japan

Phones tag because there’s never an appropriate tag for my questions. I got a kindle from Amazon.jp. Set the language to English and am using an American Amazon account to sign in. All of my menus are Japanese aside from english book titles and authors. My top recommendations are manga and Japanese books. Is it because I bought the kindle in Japan? What’s even the point of having a language setting if it doesn’t work.

EDIT: SOLVED – Reset the Kindle (not restarted) and now it’s all English

  3. Amazon likes to link your accounts in weird ways, do you also have a Japanese Amazon account using the same email? I’ve run into a similar problem when I was trying to switch my kindle to the Japanese store

    Even though you think you’ve logged into your American account, you’ve likely linked it to your Japanese one. The easiest way I know to check it is:
    1. Go to Amazon (Japan)
    2. Accounts & Lists
    3. Your Account
    4. Digital content and devices > Content and devices
    5. At the top click the “Devices” tab
    If you see your “Kindle” in here under an “Amazon devices” section, it’s linked to the wrong acc

Shingo Takagi on AEWxNJPW Forbidden Door: "I was able to participate like last year, but this year it was a pre-show. As a wrestler, I'm honestly disappointed. AEW-san, you can't find such an energetic man in his 40s anywhere in the world. I'm always waiting for an offer."
