Generally, yes.

How do you even know they exist?

The same way that I made my first internet purchase before the first commercial webpage existed, let alone internet advertising -- by knowing what I wanted and going looking for it. (Incidentally, that purchase was made via a Telnet connection, when the World Wide Web was in its infancy and little more than a toy.)
Some of us
don't need to be told what to want/buy/think!

And, with Kindle, if you find the ads too intrusive, just pay the extra $20 and get rid of them. The ads are why the Kindle was cheaper in the first place. Not sure what your issue was with the Nook Simple Touch. I'm guessing you're a lot touchier than I am on this subject. I personally don't mind a few ads to get a cheaper, quality eReader.

And I'm not sure why you (and everybody else) are making such a fuss about what was my
fourth and least point of preference for Onyx and Pocketbook.
Not all closed-ecosystem eReaders have
all the drawbacks that I associate with the genre, but that doesn't mean that they don't have
some of them (including some that I haven't even noted yet -- like lack of a mSD port).
