Mass production. Plus ads on the Lock Screen. It’s $20 cheaper with the ads.
I keep mine in airplane mode most of the time to avoid getting new ads too often. Also the only ads are on the lock screen which is extremely unobtrusive if you're looking to save a few bucks
Same as the paper white? I saw another commenter say the same. Indeed sounds like the move!
Call Amazon and say the content of the ads is offensive and say you want them to either remove the gambling and adult romance ads or remove it all if they can select. That worked for me and my wife.
The ads I see on my kindle lock screen all seem to be for garbage AI-generated books.
Only unobtrusive currently
Has been the same for many years. If they started popping up during reading or something I would not recommend at all of course. Wasn't worth $30 to me and I don't regret it so far these last few years (:
Right, but amazon also hasnt any reason to put pressure on yet. Wait till their profits start slowing
Wait, are they putting ads on kindle??
There have been ads on Kindle for a very long time. You can optionally pay an extra $15-$20 to remove the ads though.
