Where does it end.

Maybe next you'll see a little ad down in the corner of each page.

Personally, I'd pay not to see any ads.
i as well would personally pay to not see ads because once you have it, who's to stop them from adding an ad in the middle of their books as well? you turn 5-10 pages and then an ad then a couple page flips and back to page 11.

i never pay attention to them anyway and that extra page flip isn't big in the grand scheme of things but for an extra 25 dollars for the life of the product i'd stick to the 139 version.

i have zero problems with my kobo and it does what it's intended for, bells free eink reader.

i think with the ad idea they are trying to drive sales 2 ways.
1-people would save the 25 bucks and take the cheaper kindle
2-people that were on the fence are happy that there is a cheaper kindle but then the ad free version is 25 bucks more and will go for that one as well.

works both ways for kindle i guess.
