Since I purchased the apps - no ads.

One was an end-around Google and an app. Google denied, Amazon didn't. Repurchased app for 99 cents.

I did buy the other half a Paperwhite for Christmas. I spent the extra for the NO AD version. First thing that pops up when he turns it on is a big ad to try Prime.
He also had trouble getting it registered. Since I bought it, Amazon assumed I was the user. I had to uninstall my accounts and our family account to get Amazon to register it to him. For that - Amazon has banned us from a Prime Trial or Family accounts for a year.

I am not going to say what I think of the Kindle help forum on Amazon. I'd get banned.
