Anyone know why that's happening? I am not complaining and will still send it back because of the 3G thing but still, how are they gone now?
I resetted the device a couple times yesterday to figure out how the advertisement account linking is working but they were back in an instant.

I think all kindles are the same from factory. It's only a flag in your account's data that determines whether a kindle is ad supported. So when you register your kindle, Amazon's server determines whether it has ads or not. When you pay to remove ads, they change the flag and next time you sync, your kindle becomes ad free. When you reset your kindle, it is unregistered and whether or not it has ads is indeterminate. It's Schrodinger's kindle
