I paid extra to get the ad-free version of the Kindle Paperwhite thinking I was dodging obnoxious ads for random products.
Turns out the ad is just a featured book on the lock screen. I regret paying extra. Seeing the ad for Leviathan Wakes on my gf’s Kindle is how I discovered The Expanse series.

- freeone3000 8y agoIt displays a randomly selected picture from a preselected set of six. Swapping to your own screensaver requires jailbreaking your kindle, and if you're going to do that, save the $15.
- mschaef 8y agoThanks.... that's a little disappointing, but I appreciate the info. I have a TV that does that too. I get random artistic photos from Google rather than the curated family photos I would prefer.
