After reading various blog reports and seeing a few videos of the Fire HD with Special Offers, I've decided that the ads are too intrusive for my tastes. I've had no problems with them on my Kindle Touch but the Fire HD looks to have stepped up the game.

I ordered my Fire HD before the California Tax went into effect [Fire will be delivered today]. I wrongly assumed that I would not have to pay tax on the $15 upgrade. Luckily the tax was on the $15 and not $214.

I believe I can turn the Special Offers on and off again should I hear of a really good offer [I tried it once with my non-SO K3 just to see if I could]. If I am able to do this, then I think I'll have the best of both worlds.
