I've said many times before that I will never buy another non-ad-supported Kindle as long as they're available. While the price going down is nice (not that it's much), what's more important to me is that the ads are actually good! I've gotten quite a few deals on books (e.g. $0.99 book deals not available to non-ad Kindle owners), probably close to $20 off on Amazon MP3, and quite a few other things I'm forgetting. They're not remotely obtrusive and they add value for me; I really can't see any downside whatsoever.
- hpguy 14y ago+1. While I haven't got any deal out of it, I do think the ads make very good cover screen. I'd prefer them much more than an empty dull cover screen.
- erichocean 14y agoThe screens without ads are neither "empty" nor "dull". They show pictures of authors, and have since the very first Kindle. I do agree with the parent though, ads on the screen don't bother me at all.
- napillo 14y agoYeah, without the ads, it is annoying to see the faces of 4 dead authors - none of which i'm particularly interested in reading any of their work.
