There are a number of new settings in the new 2.9.1 firmware. This includes things like turning off sync entirely and a separate one that assures that you will not ever have Kobo deliver this kind of promotion. They are both under the new setting for Syncing and Updates.

From my POV, the big failure is not including this information about new settings in the release notes. It is not part of Reading Life, as far as I know.

The promotions tiles have been around for a couple of FW releases, I think. Being able to turn them off will be muchly appreciated in the new FW. The fact that it has not come up before on MR may have something to do with how rarely (thus far) these tiles have appeared.

EDIT: I agree there is something very wrong if, in fact, a person were to be interrupted while reading by an advertisement.
