What is the difference between kindle special offers

What happens if you buy a Kindle with Special Offers and want to remove the ads? Do you like the Special Offers program? Have you ever purchased one and liked it? Totally against advertising on an e-reader? Amazon seems bullish about increasing the number of ads, so the program is working.

Me too. Why can they put a book cover on the lockscreen for an ad but not for the book currently being read? Of course they could; Amazon just prefers to push content relentlessly. They are surely aware that many readers would like the option to display covers of current reads on their Kindles, but having this option would prompt many readers to remove special offers. Even without covers I find the extra screen swipe annoying-and remove special offers. That file is already there.

Kobo had always done it. Once they started the Special Offers ad in , all I did was call customer support and complained that the advertising was interfering with my reading experience and each time they did remove the ad. It would be user controlled so you can limit what info you want to show!

Advertising may be the scourge of television, but on my tablet or e-reader, I'm fine with it. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic. We delete comments that violate our policy , which we encourage you to read. Discussion threads can be closed at any time at our discretion. Why I'm choosing the Kindle with Special Offers Gripe all you want about Amazon's decision to incorporate advertising, but for me it's a simple question of dollars and sense.

First of all, there are no hardware differences between Kindle with and without special offers. As a quick update, all-new Paperwhite is now available for pre-order. Check Kindle with Special Offers. Now, the next logical question is — will this have negative effect on overall reading experience. Will those ads interrupt your readings?
