Because of this change, I keep my K4 in airplane mode. Since Amazon discontinued its Special Offers program last April, I have no incentive to turn wifi on more than once or twice a month to load new books or a few games.

My K4 now displays the same screensavers as the non-ad versions do; plus a banner saying:

Quote:
Please connect wirelessly to download the latest Special Offers
...and I won't do it, because there are no Special Offers. It's a fiendish plot by Amazon to lure my poor defenseless K4 into its evil clutches.
