I haven’t been utilizing my Kindle Voyage a lot recently for the reason that Kindle Paperwhite 6 got here alongside, however I made a decision to fireside it up yesterday to cost it and I seen one thing odd.
The screensaver adverts have mysteriously disappeared. It’s now displaying a generic screensaver as a substitute of an commercial like ad-free Kindles. Moreover, the banner advert on the backside of the homescreen and library checklist has additionally disappeared.
I are likely to hold my Kindle Voyage in airplane mode more often than not simply to keep away from the annoying adverts. When you depart a Kindle disconnected lengthy sufficient it’ll present a generic advert for the Kindle retailer as a substitute of ugly adverts for AI-generated vampire romance novels or no matter different nonsense Amazon needs to placed on there.
However now the Kindle retailer advert is gone as effectively, and there at all times was once the identical banner advert on the backside of the library and homescreen on the Voyage. Amazon did away with the banner adverts awhile in the past on newer Kindles once they switched to the newer consumer interface, so that they solely confirmed up on the older interface.
I ponder in the event that they lastly determined to do away with the banner adverts altogether or if it’s a brief glitch. Anybody else with an older Kindle discover they’re now not displaying? It’s good to have extra display screen area on the homescreen and library checklist now.
The one draw back is my Voyage nonetheless requires a swipe to show it on like ad-supported Kindles, however at the very least it’s displaying a daily Kindle screensaver now as a substitute of an commercial. I checked the gadgets checklist at Amazon and it nonetheless exhibits my Voyage as being ad-supported so I don’t know what’s happening.
I just like the sudden change, however now I’ll by no means be capable to flip airplane mode off once more for concern of the adverts coming again. Anybody else experiencing this?
