Of course, if ads bother you, you'd be best advised not to buy an ad-supported device. And you have the free choice to do that. (Unlike me.)
And I explained to you why that is not true for many users. Do you idle your reader in sleep mode? I do. Seems like almost everyone does - it's more convenient. Kindle knows this. That's why they put it there. Ever plan on reading another book? Ads. And ads while you're trying to decide what media to consume, so what better place to try to influence you to spend more money on something else? Kindle knows this. That's why they put it there. Seriously, marketers study psychology more than actual psychologists do.

Of course. Which is why I won't. But I'm confused by "unlike me...?"
