The small ad on the home-page isn't a big deal either- not much different from all those ads google puts on web pages. I think the price cut in exchange for viewing ads is a good deal- they could have just started pushing ads to everyone's kindles without the price cut...

You have to admit, the way these ads are presented (i.e. we'll give you a discount if you are ok with us forcing ads on you) is different than magazines. Heck, I don't mind magazine ads. They are in beautiful full color, usually have some attractive people in them, and/or are interesting.
The Visa banner bolted to the bottom of the Kindle's home screen is not the same thing.
