lol, one of my favorite things about the Kindle is reading without bright flashy things on the top and sides of the text. Of course I had web ads turned off for years, but lately I have seen some sites use locally stored image files for ad placement! The nerve of some people!
Having said that, I probably wouldn't mind the screensavers being replaced with ads for new books, we are supposed to be reading after all. But from the article, if it is not misinfo, Amazon is losing it!
