How do I turn off the ads on my Kindle e-reader?
If you purchased a Kindle labeled “With Special Offers,†you bought a model that was discounted because of the advertisements shown on the reader's screen saver and along the bottom of the home screen. If you want to remove the ads, you can do so - but Amazon requires you to make up the price difference (usually $15 to $30, depending on the model) between what you paid for a “Special Offers†Kindle and the same model that was more expensive, but ad-free.
To turn off the ads (or as Amazon calls it, “unsubscribe from special offersâ€), log onto the Manage Your Kindle page with your Amazon user name and password. In the Manage Your Devices area, find your Kindle model and click the plus (+) icon to show additional details. In the Special Offers area, click Edit and follow along to turn off the ads. You should see how much the bill will be for turning off the advertisements.
When you have adjusted your Kindle preferences online, connect the e-reader to your wireless network so it can update itself. Amazon will then send you an e-mail notification to confirm that you have opted out and paid for it.
