What is the difference between Kindle with special offers and without?
First of all, there are no hardware differences between Kindle with and without special offers. The difference is that you’ll receive sponsored ads as screensavers for the Kindle with special offers . Sponsored ads on Kindle devices are not invasive or pervasive and unlikely to be so in the future.
Is Kindle with Special Offers annoying?
If you have a Kindle with Special Offers, then you’re forced to view an annoying advertisement (that’s usually completely unrelated to your reading preferences) on the lockscreen every single time you turn your Kindle on and off or happen to glance at the screen while it’s turned off. To me this is simply unacceptable.
What does without special offers mean for Kindle?
You can choose not to have the adverts when you buy the Kindle by clicking the Without Special Offers option, which raises the price by £10. The good news is that you can also turn it off when you’ve got the Kindle – although it will cost you the £10 you didn’t pay at the checkout.
Is it worth paying extra for Kindle Paperwhite?
The extra money that you’d have to spend for the Paperwhite gets you a sharper screen, more storage, a slightly higher-end design, water resistance, a better front light, and potentially cellular connectivity. Whether those things are worth it will largely depend on when, where, what and how much you plan to read.
