Kindle Ads are Not Intrusive

Since yesterday’s announce­ments, I’ve been hit by a ton of searches where peo­ple are look­ing to under­stand how intru­sive Kin­dle ads are on the ad sup­ported devices.

In short: They’re not intru­sive of the read­ing expe­ri­ence at all.

The ads show up in two places:

  1. On the front of the device when the devices is pow­ered off, and
  2. At the bot­tom of the device’s inven­tory list

While I don’t think the dis­count is enough, I chose to pur­chase an ad sup­ported device to save a cou­ple of bucks, and I’d do it again.

If you want a funny per­spec­tive on Kindle’s ad-supported devices, read Marco’s post. It’s hilar­i­ous. He seg­ments the two devices as “with ads” and “with self-respect”. Had me rolling on the floor.
