Real life scenario where this would ABSOLUTELY cause me annoyance is if my Rebbeim (teachers in Jewish Talmudical study) see my Kindle lying around and say, "Hey, what's that over there??" It could end up being a very awkward situation. I could explain it of course, but either way they would ask to hold onto it for me until I got home (I dorm out of state). Although it would never get to that point, since I would police myself the same way.

I asked the Kindle specialist if there was some way to prevent those specific types of ads showing up, because if so then ads wouldn't be a problem, but they said it's not possible and they unsubscribed me instead.
