I spoke with the customer service, but they told me it's not possible to remove them now. I would have to return mine and buy one without special offers. I didn't want to do that, because I had already invested quite some time to edit collections etc.
I then tried removing the files from the two system folders. This works, but I failed to activate the write-protection for these folders. So each time I deactivate flight-mode the special offers return... Supposedly this works on older PWs. Any ideas?

The rep is incorrect I believe, at least I can do it on a kindle I gave to a friend and I can subscribe to on kindles I have that don't have the ads. Go to amazon.com and then to manage your content and devices. Under devices locate the device and click the dots. You will see your email address associated with that device, then special offers /offers ads and next to subscribed you should see edit. Click that and you can remove the ads for $20.
