Is it really a discount if the Kindle with ads costs the same as the competition without ads? What makes it a discount, aside from Jeff Bezos deciding to call it one?

For it to be a discount, it seems like the MSRP of a Kindle with ads should be $20 less than the competition.

The by far largest ereader seller on the planet can't find a way to sell a Kindle Paperwhite at the same exact cost as the Glowlight 3 and Clara HD, aside from displaying ads? Surely that can't be true.

If you are willing to call the surcharge a discount, shouldn't you also refer to the advertising as special offers?
