Amazon charging customers 15.00 to turn off ads in Kindle.

40. I think

Amazon is a great company. I don't have a Kindle Fire (too expensive, I might buy the oldest one they got though for 69.99), but I do have Kindle on my laptop and on my cellphone. Lots of books are free to download, some of them made free strategically to suck you into a series. Other books are very reasonably priced. I can see how the Ad thing can be an attempt to suck money out of folks, but fact is Pandora Radio is the same way. When I've needed help from Amazon's customer service, they've always been there for me. Just a couple of weeks ago they refunded me, no questions asked, on two mp3 album DOWNLOADS that I was unable to gift to someone else, and it even listed the MP3s as being "accepted" by the other individual. So the evidence was against me, but they didn't give me any hassle. If I have to watch some ads to get good service and cheap products, I have no problem with it. I also wouldn't be surprised if Amazon has to pay a lot of cash to artists moreso than other companies. I also use Pandora, and they hit me with an ad the other day asking me to contact my senator over a law that forces internet radio to pay 5x more in royalties to big music companies over Sirius Radio or other such things.
