amazon.com.BR removes Special Offers at no cost!
Hi!
After one year with my Kindle Touch with Special Offers (SO), I acquired another Kindle, this time the PaperWhite, with SO too. Both brought to me by the hands of a friend that went to USA to work. As I live in Brazil, I decided to move my devices to amazon.com.br. Then, I decided to pay to remove the SO, but the Manage Your Kindle page at amazon.com.br doesn't show me the link. So, I wrote a message asking how should I do to pay the cost in order to has the SO removed. Less than 12 hours later a tech support replied my message telling me that he had already removed the SO from my PW, and that the process will be completed after I turn on the Kindle. And you know what? Bingo! Special Offers removed at no cost!!! This is not a hack nor Social Engineering! I'm trying the same approach with the Touch one. I'll let you know about it. Regards. |

There's (subjectively) about an equal amount of people who had them "manually" removed by CS, and were charged for the procedure. This may be a per-country thing, or it may depend on the mood of the Amazon representative or on how nicely you ask. Or maybe it's just random |

Yes, Amazon is amazing! I also got the SO removed for free when I received my replacement PW.
