Should i get special offers on kindle

Coupons for clothes and other useful stuff? I fail to see the downside. Advertising may be the scourge of television, but on my tablet or e-reader, I'm fine with it.

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.

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!

Good idea! When they were first releasing e-readers, people argued they were selling their devices so cheap because they wanted their profit to be in the content purchased, so the ad thing made a little more sense. I would definitely pay the Little things like that make big differences to me. This morning, I nicely asked an Amazon customer service rep if she could remove the special offers from my Paperwhite for no charge, and she did it!!

I contacted the support via the Amazon site and said I want to remove the Ads from my Kindle Paperwhite. I have run into the kind of problem I hate. Totally against advertising on an e-reader? Amazon seems bullish about increasing the number of ads, so the program is working.
