- tjoff 2y agoCan't read that but that is surely if you bought the subsidized ad-version of the kindle.
- michaelt 2y agoThere's no difference between a "subsidized ad-version" and what al_borland said: that they "paid to not have ads on the Kindle" You can get a Kindle for $110 with ads, or for $130 without ads.
- tjoff 2y agoI read it as if it was a subscription, my bad.
- MaxikCZ 2y agoI got my Kindle before any ads were in play (its like a second generation?), and several years afterwards it started displaying ads. Thankfully a chat with amazon solved it because I wasnt in US, so the ads were not applicable to me, but I definetly did not have option to buy non-ad version when I bought it.
- optimusprinceps 2y agoI'm an avid kindle user, I've never seen ads on my device. I'm in the UK
- gambiting 2y agoI'm in the UK and you absolutely get ads on kindles unless you have a very old device or bought the ad free model(TBF all kindles sold outside of Amazon at Currys, JL etc are always ad free).
- extraduder_ire 2y agoLast I checked, about three years ago, any place selling kindles online (UK/Ireland) had small-print next to them stating that an internet connection and additional fee was required to remove ads.
