Hi, As you found out there are many people who feel strongly
about this topic. Its not likely that you will get any real help in this forum.

Actually, is quite hard to eliminate the ads and probably not worth the effort.

I'd suggest the following.

1) Turn off your wifi and don't turn it on again. You get better battery life this way.

2) After a while the ads will expire and you will get the screen saver display that asks you to turn on your wifi... don't do it! Instead when you buy a book from say amazon or baen, have it delivered to your computer and simply side-load into the Kindle's documents folder.

I'm sorry about your rude experience here. They will probably FLAME me too.
