Ads do not show up in books at all. So it's literally only during times when it's 'off' or when you're just looking at the list of books.
It causes 0 effect on how you use the device.
Pop-Up Ads on the other hand cause you to stop using your current content and force you to deal with the ad before moving on.
Believe it or not the special offers actually save you money over time. I have them turned on for my KK, and I bought mine at full price.

People who bought the KSO editions cannot. They have to pay the difference to get that option.
That's the difference. The KSO versions cost less because you don't have a handy option to just turn them on and off. If you pay the difference then you get the option. If you buy the device at full price you get the option.
So why should they give me a rebate for something I can just turn on and off?

Ditto, ditto, ditto.
I too bought my K3 (KK) at full price, and turned on the ads shortly after the option became available. Doing so has allowed me to buy 2 novels that I really wanted for $2 instead of $16, and I got my very first audio book for free instead of the $28 it would cost now.
I was also able to turn them off for a day and then turn them back on, with no cost or ill effects.
