Not to excuse the ads, but apparently it's pretty easy to scam their customer support into removing them for free. Just send a support message saying the Kindle belongs to a kid and you're concerned about them seeing inappropriate ads, or something along those lines.
- jsmith99 2y agoNo scam required, if you ask nicely they are usually happy to. Not always, but you could always try again with a different agent.
- JJMcJ 2y agoIf not that, a relatively small fee will remove the ads. I believe it's under $20, one time.
- A_D_E_P_T 2y agoThanks. That's a good tip. And not even much of a scam: I do have a kid who uses the device, and they do push ads for vaguely pornographic romance novels. (Though I've never read a romance novel in my life...)
- SoftTalker 2y agoThey'll probably come back when the next update is pushed. That would be my bet, anyway.
