I need the 3G version, so I wouldn't choose the discounted wifi-only Kindle for that reason alone. I rarely look at the screensaver pictures, so if the ads were displayed only there it would be tolerable. But ads on the Home screen would annoy me, even if I was saving money. No thanks. I'd rather pay a bit extra for an ad-free Kindle.
I know that some people are not as sensitive to advertising as I am, though. If a discounted device will bring more people back to reading, I think that's great! I find that I'm reading a lot more since I purchased my Kindle. I think it's nice that Amazon's giving us choices.
