Ask LH: Why Are My Kindle Paperwhite Ads Irrelevant?
Dear Lifehacker, Recently I bought a new Kindle Paperwhite for my birthday and I have been in love with it since day 1. When I purchased it, I bought the “special offers” version for the lower cost under the notion that I could save some money on the purchase and also save money on books that took my fancy. However, upon trying to access the special offers, I noticed that most of them don’t apply to me, only to US Customers. Is it fair that I’m being used to made money for an item with advertising but I can’t access the advertising at all? If I’d known this was the case, I’d have spent the extra $20 and gone ad-free. Thanks, Concerned Kindler
