That's nonsense. A banner only seen on the home page of your reader is hardly what I would call a 'hard sell'. I have the first edition Paperwhite and it doesn't even get the special offers anymore. I constantly have the ad talking about continuing to read on my other devices. The only place I see ads on the device is the home page or when looking at my collections. Nothing shows up anywhere else while I'm reading.
That's not intrusive or hard selling in my eyes. I'd say ads in magazines are more intrusive. You can't turn a few pages without seeing an ad. I can read an entire book on my device without seeing one until I go to the home page.
