For a few years now it’s been identified which you could get the ads eliminated free of charge on ad-supported Kindles just by asking Amazon’s buyer help to eliminate them, or complaining concerning the sorts of adverts which might be proven.
But it surely seems to be like Amazon has modified their coverage and so they’re not eradicating adverts free of charge. I’ve been seeing a bunch of studies on reddit currently, and folks simply aren’t having any luck lately, even when making an attempt a number of occasions with completely different brokers.
It seems to be like Amazon has lastly cracked down on mainly gifting away $20 to anybody that requested. It’s shocking it took this lengthy.
Ever since Amazon launched ad-supported Kindles in 2011, they’ve been charging $20 much less for Kindles with adverts against their non-ad counterparts.
Whereas I hate the idea of ad-supported Kindles to start with (different ereader firms don’t pull that sort of nonsense), Amazon has at all times been upfront concerning the adverts that seem on Kindles proper there on the Kindle product pages, and folks can at all times selected to purchase the non-ad model for $20 extra.
Now if you wish to eliminate the adverts on an ad-supported Kindle, you need to pay Amazon that further $20. Paying after the very fact has at all times been an choice, however now it seems to be the one choice.
To take away adverts on an ad-supported Kindle, you simply need to go to the Handle Your Content material and Units web page at Amazon, then choose the Units tab, then choose your Kindle from the listing, after which click on the “Take away presents” button to pay the $20 price.
Advert-supported Kindles have at all times had ads on the lockscreen when a Kindle is turned off, and that’s how present Kindles function. However on older gadgets with earlier Kindle software program, just like the Kindle Voyage, in addition they confirmed a banner advert on the backside of the house display screen.
Some individuals don’t thoughts the adverts and a few individuals can’t stand them. The one factor I’ve at all times hated concerning the adverts is that they add an additional step of getting to swipe the Kindle’s display screen when turning it on, even when utilizing a sleep cowl. With out adverts it simply takes you proper again to the e-book, no swiping vital.
