You can argue semantics all you want to, but the fact remains that we are getting special offers pushed to our Kindles.
Renaming "Special Offers" is rather like when Microsoft advertised heavily that there were "no more UAEs" (Unknown Application Errors) in the latest Windows 3.x, of which Windows had been infamously plagued with up until then. It was a big selling feature. It did not take long to discover that they had "eliminated" all the UAEs by RENAMING them as "Illegal Instruction Execution" errors. Nice marketing ploy!
