They are in the top post. I copy it here:

(THIS WORKS AS OF OCTOBER 4TH, OFW 5.18.5.0.1)

For some reason, **if 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, I went to the "Devices" tab, and then I had a new option to migrate my account to Kindle France. After selecting that option, all my devices showed up in amazon.fr instead of amazon.com. Just to be sure, I also changed my Scribe default language to French. I reboot, and...

*Voilą!*

The option to have ads now appear on the settings. After that, I followed up the guide on kindlemodding.org

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 have Koreader on my Scribe now.

*Merci beaucoup* to <@362641685844590605> for being the first to prove that the scribe could be adbroken, to <@1342238956661641239> for developing this break, to the rest of the dev team for all the work done, and to <#1382486943169777675> and <#1332770457954549903> regulars for the neverending hope lol
