That cover has been sold out for months.
Removed. Thanks!
I want to know if the Ad support can be removed. And at what price?
Amazon charges $20 to remove special offers, per device.
The special offers have not gotten in the way for me. I have a 10th gen 32Gb in sage. I have several of the Mockingjay covers I got using Woot! Codes from the BOC wasnāt really a BOC debacle. I wonāt run out of covers. When I needed the covers, I refused, and I proceeded to smash the screen on my first one.
Ads really arenāt much of an issue, in my opinion. With ads, it shows an ad (probably for a book) when the device is on standby (turned off but not all the way off). Without ads, it just shows some random āscreensaverā type thing such as a bunch of pencils. It doesnāt show ads when the device is in use.
(Please note: I donāt work for Woot, I just volunteer to help out here on the forums.)
half hour of reading per day - lol

Youāll have to copy/paste the link bc Amazon is misbehaving.
@ThunderThighs I think part of your link got truncated as it just hit the general Amazon customer service home pageā¦updated below with the direct Remove Ads from Kindle linkā¦
EDITā¦OKā¦Weird, mine did the same thing, updated again to the Kindle help landing page
2nd EDITā¦OKā¦So the forums are modifying the linkā¦Check the destination when you roll over it vs what is actually in the text.
Yeah, weird. Works when you copy/paste but not linking.
The forums are modifying the link to display.html?tag=woot and not what is actually in the full link pastedā¦not sure whatās going on thereā¦
Removed the tag= setting from the site. Didnāt gain us much anyway.
Regardless, I went to Amazon (manage your devices to be specific), clicked on one of my family Kindles with ads to see what the cost was to remove ads, and, as I stated in my response, $20 per device. Skip all the weird linking troubles and just trust astevenscr.
As someone who abhors ads, you wonāt even notice these. There is a small banner displayed at the bottom of your Library page and, like peace said, on your screen saver when you turn the book off. There is absolutely ZERO ad interference while you are actually using the device to read a book. This is the one and only time anyone has ever gotten advertising done right!
My Paperwhite doesnāt have a banner ad on the library page, but mine is the newest version so maybe thatās the difference? I also had an old one I bought in 2014 and I donāt remember that one having a banner ad, either. They probably have different rules for different versions.
My main Kindle is hacked, so thereās no ads on it at all, but I checked my other Paperwhite and sure enough, I donāt see the banner at the bottom on that, either. Oddā¦ They used to show up in that empty space under the ā1/1ā page numbers
On the āSpecial Offersā page it says āMore Special Offers are available. Please connect wirelessly to download the latest Special Offersā even though it IS connected. Now that I look at it, the screensaver isnāt showing ads now, eitherā¦ oddā¦
Iāll have to go look at my Keyboard and see what itās up to these days.
I heard if you just ask customer service theyāll remove them
I backed the HaxMini e-reader on Kickstarter this year. It was supposed to be similar to the Kindle and support any e-reading app one wished, but it has been SLOW and hard to use. Amazon had some great buys on Kindles during their October Prime Day, but I held off then, because I donāt like to do Christmas shopping for the family before November. Didnāt bite on Wootās Kindle offers on Halloween, and now this Kindle Paperwhite is the cheapest one left. Debating whether I should go for that, or hope that new Kindles go on special @Amazon again for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, so I could trade in one of my Fire tablets and get the 20% discount on a new Kindle there.
If you ask Amazon nicely through their customer service line via phone or chat (I did mine via chat), they will remove the ads for free from your Kindle. I was having trouble with the process so when I contacted them they said that they would do it as a courtesy for me and not charge me. So now I have a Kindle that has no ads and I can add the book cover of the book that Iām reading on the screen versus just some generic screensaver. I hope this helps and God bless you all! I love my Kindle Paperwhite btw!
