A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They have sold two 'tiers' of kindles for awhile, the one with ads on the lock screen is discounted.
It's not my favorite thing but iirc the lock screen is supposed to be the only place with ads.
Yes, and in fairness to them that's how it has been. The ads are only for stuff sold on the kindle store too, so not like you're seeing ads for hot singles in your area or some shit on your kindle. It's only now that the store is flooded with this AI garbage that the ads have become annoying.
I believe you're right. However, if memory serves, the ads did change occasionally, meaning the screen had to refresh, leading to increased battery usage.
