Which is, in itself, weird. The offers make Amazon money, they aren't sold at a loss. Even those $10 for $20 credits maintains brand loyalty and ensures that you're buying from them. I don't really understand why you can't opt in to them via a web address or something - they can't think that existing Kindle owners are going to go buy a KSO just for the ads.

Heck, my Nook has ads. Just noticed that last night because of this conversation. Go into the "Shop" screen and *poof* GET A FREE SLICE OF CHEESECAKE OR WHATEVER FROM THE B&N CAFE. First thought: Huh. B&N had ads before Amazon had ads. Second thought: Why doesn't this bother me like the KSO would? Oh yeah, I shop from my computer and NEVER use the Nook Shop screen. It's not a bloody screensaver. *crisis averted*

(I actually made my own screen saver that cycles through reading quotes. I'm fond of it. http://www.nook-look.com/nookfiles/view/4540 )

I don't remember where I was going with this ramble.
