I think Amazon could make more money by offering an option to disable the ads for $x. Whoever is willing to pay is likely not someone to click on the ads anyway, but they avoid upsetting people who don't want to rent out their eyeballs.

They already do offer this option. The article says it costs $30.

  I read that they won't be offering this option on the new models.

    The new Paperwhite is $119, or $139 without ads.

      That's a different product line, though. The article and discussion here is about the Android tablet, not the e-reader.

  That is for the e-reader. The Fire has no such option.

Doesn't that mean that the people who can afford $x, who advertisers would like to target, are the only ones who turn off ads?
