Any input on this matter will be appreciated.

UPDATE: IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET ADS AND DO ADBREAK ON A KINDLE SCRIBE, AS OF OFW 5.18.5.0.1
For some reason, i
f your kindle account is registered to amazon.com, you won't get ads even if you activate them. However,
it's different if your account is registered to amazon.fr (for some unknown reason), and after getting your ads you can do Adbreak as usual.
What I did was go to amazon.com and change my region and payment info to an address in France; after that, go to the "Devices" tab, and then I had a new option to migrate your account to Kindle France. After that, your devices will show up in amazon.fr instead of amazon.com. Just to be sure, I also changed my Scribe default language to French. I reset, and..
Voilā!
The option to have ads now appear on the settings. After that, I did the same process than @lucagoc described previously on this thread.
I think this is an interesting option for Colorsoft users to try, as I understand that model has a similar problem showing ads. I don't know why this happens, but I know have Koreader on my Scribe.
