You may not find the current ads on the Kindle intrusive. And if so, that just means that Amazon has done a good job of calculating exactly how far they can go with this at the present time. But I think this is just opening a door to further expansion of advertising in the future as people get used to it and consider it normal.

I find any and all ads intrusive. We already live with more and more intrusive advertising in the culture. And it will continue to increase as long as people accept it, for example, in exchange for a discount on a product.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon was making more money from the KSO versions than the no-ad versions in spite of higher price of the no-ad versions.
