I'm in Russia, my Special Offer K4 doesn't show any ads. I haven't registered it though, I don't need to. But I went online a few times with the browser. Figured they don't have any ads to show for Russia. What's your experience?

Special Offers are for the US only. They don't even sell them to people outside the US.

I got my mother a K4SO. She's overseas and the ads on her K4 are all from immigration services companies.

I am in south america. I see the US adds and they are updated almost daily. My Kindle is registered with Amazon and I keep the Wireless always off.

Kindle SO must be registered to show ads.

Registered SO K3 in Australia sent to me as a replacement ( by mistake ?!? )
Yep see the ads and they match with the SO post here. Can't really use most of them as they involve buying physical items that don't ship here, but I'm waiting for a $10 for $20 gift card offer or something like that to see if that actually will work ![]() |

In Thailand
I bought a K4 in Seattle, registered it from the Best Buy store, then gave my Thailand address. I get a lot of Seattle and Amazon ads. Kinda quaint from over here!
I bought one for my boss. He does not use it much, but there seem to be no ads yet, other than Kindle Store and Amazon coupon type ads. |

My ex bought a wifi K3 with an Amazon.com account when in the US last month, but it is registered to her amazon.co.uk account.
No ads, looked like a normal K3, until I showed her how to connect it to wifi, and then the US ads appeared. |

The nice thing is - when you don't register your kindle 4 so (and just use it with calibre) - there are no ads. but its very annoying that you cant set the time without registering it..

I'm UK based. You can't buy a Special Offers Kindle here. So no ads.
