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

It's annoying though for us who send books to our Kindles and use the Sync feature. I'm always having to go back and forth. I can't leave WiFi on due to huge battery drainage.
A few of their ads caught my eye lately. One was Microsoft Office 2010 for $99. The other was a book I forgot was coming out.
