Everyone who was thinking about buying a cheaper Kindle and just circumventing the ads, now knows that won't work... thanks to the OP's "experiment". I'm perfectly OK with that--in fact, I hope the AdverKindle stays unhacked.
I think someone will do it, but now Amazon has an incentive to issue updates to put the adverts back again. That may or may not affect users of non-ad-subsidised Kindles, we'll have to wait and see.
