Yes, choices are good to have. Normally the ads would be a non-issue (for me) as I don't give a rats behind how the PW looks like while sleeping. The benefit for me on the ad-free version is the automatic wake up with opening the cover. It goes directly to the last page read directly after opening the cover. The discounted SO version opens with an ad that needs to be tabbed or swiped before the last page appears. If you use the button to wake up your PW it gets rid of the ad right away, I think. I never had a SO PW in my hand, so I am not 100% sure on that. The only annoying thing, even on the ad-free version is the huge display of recommended titles on homepage. Those only survived long enough on my Paperwhites as long as it took to go to the menu and disabling them. (I think even the SO version lets you do that)
