the nag I referred to is not encoded in any books it's something in the kindle firmware that you can't disable. It pops up whenever kindle decides you have turned the "last page", even on sideloaded books

Amazon have other nags already e.g. the one that nags me to give them copies of all my other music ( for their cloud player/clpud storage ) whenever I buy a new mp3 track.

I predict that as soon as Bezos invents amazonface-book it will be mandatory to have an account there before you can buy anything.

it is already happening with spotify, Last year took me an hour of googling, a VPN proxy and a smattering of German! to get a new spotify account without going via facebook.- & even that worked only because the Germans, bless em, have the sense to resist begin overrun by facebook.
