On another point, I wonder if the ad-subsidized versions since they show ads don't even create image files to be used for sleep and power-off modes. If so even after all that effort to hack it, you may just end up with a KT that just shows the happy face or blank cover whenever it's sleeping or powered-off. |

Amen to that. There's a reason for the discounted price. Buying a Special Offer Edition and then removing the ads is a shady practice, in my opinion. I always pay the extra to get the ad-free version.

Not only is it shady but it violates the Terms of Service... which you agree to when buying/using the device. Pay the extra or deal with the ads... which really aren't any type of issue.

Yeah, but why are you all talking about Kindles and Amazon in the Kobo forum?

My response was aimed at special offers readers regardless of their make.

No problem. I agree with you in either case.
