They don't get in the way of me watching my movie, and I am under no obligation to see them.
Regardless of ads being available on the nook, I think there is an appreciable difference in Kindle ads vs. nook ads in regards to choice. (And as a side note, I chose to root my nook so now I have even more freedom.  ) |
See, I'm not a fan of the Kindle, but I'd have to say you're really stretching here. There is, in fact, a difference in Kindle ads vs Nook ads. in the Nook, you don't have a choice, your device is not ad-free, as you noted. The kindle.. yes, the ad-free version costs more. But hey, if you don't want ads, you can buy the ad-free version and it's an AD-FREE device.
