Kindle Owners-

I got one for Christmas, it's just the base model (I figured with all my other gadgets I'd just want to use it for reading and nothing else). I haven't played with it much yet, but everytime I set it down an ad pops up onto the screen and then when I go to my home screen there is an ad there too down across the bottom. WTF? I don't understand how they can advertise on a purchased device. That'd be like everytime I pick up my cell phone there's an ad there, or every time I log onto my computer-ad. Is this normal and is there any way I can turn it off? It's driving me crazy.

Re: Kindle Owners-

  • Nevermind. I just answered my own question by going to Amazon and checking out all the models. It looks like whoever got this for me (MIL) was able to save $20 by getting me the one with ads rather than the one without.

  • There are two 'base' kindles - one is less expensive and includes "special offers and sponsored screensavers".  Ads, basically.   There is another one that doesn't if you'd rather return and get that one.  It's the one I have and I don't think it was that much more expensive.

    Yes, thanks! I'll be trying to return it. The ads are driving me crazy.
