    Now? They’ve had the option almost since they first started selling them. It’s like $10 to remove them permanently. Honestly didn’t realize anyone would get the one with ads on purpose but hey, I didn’t think people would use Twitter when I first heard about it either.

      I bought a few of their tablets with ads on purpose - and then just blocked the ads.

      I just sent them a message asking them to disable the ads on the kindle I had recently purchased, and they did so for free, no root needed. That was a few years ago though, so I doubt they do that anymore…

        Earlier this year I called them and let them know that some of the ads looked a little inappropriate for some of the children who use the device… They removed them no questions asked.
