You can get a kindle with ads for cheaper than ask them to remove the ads.

Or install koreader?

Dude, you just made my evening. I have an ad-riddled Kindle that's now going to get an upgrade today!

Then just turn on airplane mode and download calibre. Also, talk to a lady named Anna about her archive.

...or get a Kobo and never have to jump through the hoops

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly. The kobo is the king. The kindle is just spyware

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 1 points 20 hours ago

Straight up.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

and then never connect it to a network right?

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

then ask them to remove the ads

Sounds like they'll just roll over if you complain, then you can connect it if you do desire

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 5 points 1 day ago

crazy how a single letter changes the whole meaning. Pretty cool loophole if it's as simple as asking.
