    We have 3 ten year olds, and their grandfather purchased Kindle’s with the special offers for them for Christmas.  Just came in the mail a couple days ago.  We’re considering exchanging them for the devices without special offers to get around having advertising on them.  We love books, hate advertising!  I guess my concern is not knowing what the ads will pertain to, not having that control. 

    Any advice on this?

    I don’t have a Kindle, but i’ve seen posts about this in other places.  It is my understanding that the advertisements are not inappropriate, but I would check them out myself to make sure if I were you.

    My understanding is the ads are only during the “screen saver”, not in the books, and that they are all appropriate ads.

    I don’t know how easy it would be to accidently buy something with the ads (ie, having a child buy something) – I have a regular Kindle.

     

    That said, I have heard somewhere that you can pay the difference between the Kindle with offers and the Kindle without and get them removed.

    Thank you for the responses!  I will look into paying the difference, that would be great!
