Haha of course. I used the contact us option in the iOS app. Wrote that I didn’t think it was very clear that “Special Offers” were adverts, the human on the other side explained that there are two Kindle options for sale etc, and that to remove “Special Offers” the fee is £10 (or £20?). I wrote “Can you do this for free?”. They asked their supervisor and then they were removed.
Take that Bezos.
Fyoosh
Finally decided I’d try out reading on a Kindle. Went for the paperwhite as it’s on sale at the moment. (Purchased with “Special Offers” and then contacted customer services to ask them to remove them free of charge. Because if I’m buying from Evilcorp, then I need some small victories.)
I like how thin and light it is, and the inverted mode seems very nice to read. Time will tell.
I am though baffled as to why they’d put the power button on the bottom, where you hold the device, instead of on the top edge. And the 90’s art store lock screen images that you can’t change - how have they not made an option to display the cover of the current book yet?!
