But today, I pick up my Kindle, and what do I see on the screen saver? Fifty Shades of Grey. Oh, Amazon, do you truly know me so poorly? We spent all this time together, and you think I might be interested in that book? I don't care if others want to read it, but it's not a book I would buy. All this data they could mine on me, and Amazon thinks I want Fifty Shades of Grey? It's like having Boris and Natasha from Bullwinkle spying on me. If only there was a "Hell, no!" option that would inform Amazon of my utter disinterest.

I basically ignored ads until I got a few like this, that is when I complained to customer service and had them removed for free.
Being as I am in a religious school, that kind of ad would raise eyebrows even if I didn't personally have a problem with the ad.
Well, I did offer them that I would be fine if the ads could be filtered or targeted to certain categories.
@Xanthe, @EbokJunkie, interesting, perhaps I had an effect on them!
Too bad it still wouldn't help for me on fw5.3.7
