The ads are not intrusive at all. My cover stays closed when I'm not reading it, so I don't see the screensaver page. We have two in the house with ads and mine without ads (purchased before the ads were available).
The only reason that I'm glad that I have the non-ad model is because I have the screensaver hack, which allowed me to put my contact info on the image, which is the reason that I haven't purchased 11 Kindles. :-) [though it did come back to me with a metal tab for the lighted cover broken, it still works w/ the SmakDab clip to hold it in and a bit of alignment of the broken bits to make electrical contact]
I've not used the newer models other than at the store. The one that I bought for my mom is still sealed in the box and all of the others that I've purchased were prior to the new models. I do see the appeal of the touch screen, though it wasn't such a big deal to me that I've felt any desire to upgrade at all. I'm still happy with my keyboard model.
