The KSO is a one-time $25 discount, leveraged against hundreds of advertisements over the life of the product. Each advertiser's cost is pennies per Kindle, or potentially, as much as few dollars per month for being on the screensaver rotation. Are you seriously claiming that advertisers will pay $5 or more PER BOOK for ads that the customer can skip past with the click of a button?

Find me these advertisers; I need startup capital for a business project.
