I don't understand what you mean. A PW with no ads does display 8 titles per page on the home screen (in list view). What are you disappointed about?

Oh does the SOPW show that little thing on the bottom that the Kindle Touch shows? On the ad-free version in cover view I can see 6 items. While in list view I see 8.

Opening a collection, one will see 8 titles listed (and no SO bar). |

I can see though how the $20 would be taxed if your PW got taxed. After all you are not paying for the ads to be removed, but you are paying the $20 towards the device that you got previously at a discount, different in funtionality. Who knows. What about books? Do you pay tax on books now too?

I'm not sure about ebooks, I can check. But on physical goods, yes.
No tax on the last .99 book I bought. Last edited by booklover6; 12-30-2012 at 09:16 AM. |

I never paid a cent tax to Amazon. Never paid anything on ebooks neither!
Most my ebooks are of the free kind on amazon. |
