that's good to know. I hate ads enough on my cell from different apps

all that you say is true yet i paid the $15 to get rid of them on my Fire. i felt like whenever i woke up the Kindle the ad was a reminder that the playground wasn't really mine. the annoying set up of the Kindle itself is enough of a reminder. i like my Kindle but i wish i could get rid of that damned carousel and adjust other aspects like the background as i can on my iphone and iPad. without rooting or jailbreaking or whatever it is called.

Ugh. All short links are blocked for me. It would be cool if the forum auto expanded (resolved?) short links at the time of posting.

I never even notice the ads on my Kindle. They aren't there while you are using it.

So much for free 2-day shipping. My refurb arrived today (less than 24 hours after). The packaging was barebones - the box is plain brown with a plastic wrap keeping the Kindle Fire from moving around, similar to the Gazelle iPad/tablet boxes they'll send you. The Fire and a USB cord were the only things included. Otherwise, it looks brand-new.
However,the Kindle Fire was already registered to my Amazon account and charged up. I've been downloading some apps and watching Battlestar Galactica: Revealed on Amazon Prime Video. I've also been side loading some books from my Dropbox account to the Overdrive application.
So far, so good. I like it better than my Nook Color already. I need to get that re-rooted and ready for sale on eBay.
