To accuse Amazon of this, when google, apple, samsung and a whole host of others that sell tablets and have their own stores and do the same thing is simply ludicrous.

So they have special offers for screen savers, first they are not intrusive and secondly, can be turned off. But to exagerate and say "Buy Me" popups everywhere is purely untrue.
Yeah, Apple does everything they can to point you to iTunes, Android to google play, Amazon to Amazon........it is how devices work these days and Amazon is not outside the norm in that respect.
