I'm looking to buy a new Kindle as my old one is old.

I'm seeing the same device sold "Without Ads" for twice the price as the same model "With Ads"!

WTF?

Can you wipe the ads version and reinstall?

Probably in an illegal hacky kind of way, but I generally don't do that sort of thing.

I don't think it's illegal to modify your own hardware

Hey I'm fighting the biggest battle in history against all the governments of the world right now.

I don't think I'm going to bother with this one thank you 😂
