It's all relative indeed, I suppose it depends on how much money you got to spend on "frivolous" items (as opposed to rent, food, etc.)
The success of the KSO makes me think that a few bucks' difference is significant enough for a large amount of people to want to save it, in exchange for a small annoyance.
If a Kindle was cheap by any standard then people would go for the version without ads. I can understand that people don't mind them so much (they seem rather inobtrusive), but let's no go so far as to argue that people actually
prefer the KSO over an ad-free version.
