Hi, i've just bought new, but second hand Kindle Keyboard. Unfortunately it's the version with special offers (that guy didn't tell me that > he will burn in hell). I don't register it yet and the Kindle don't show any offers, even screensavers are normal as on K's without offers. My question is, have somebody experience with these offers ? I read, that offers will show after registering. What about de-registering, will offers go away ? Or, if I ever register it, they will appear for ever ?

Most people LIKE the offers - you can save a lot of money on them.

I would want them, but not on my Kindle.
Return if you don't like them or if the price doesn't seem right anymore... |

Even still, the ads don't get in the way of reading, so I'm not sure why it's such a big deal. Maybe the principle of certain info being withheld before a sale, but past that, the ads are an easy way to save some money on lots of stuff, from laptops to kids toys and more. |

How do you know it's the one with Special Offers if there aren't any displayed yet?
Either way, have a a look at these two threads: You can unsubscribe to Special Offers on a K4 SO Getting Rid Of Sponsored Screensavers (NO HACKS) |

Question
Really good question, but on paper box is written ,,with special offers,, and it was sold as kindle with special offers. I'm ,,afraid" of offers, because I like original thematic screensavers. I don't want to look at Visa etc.

If it's a K3 you are stuck but seriously the screensavers aren't bad at all, some are really nice looking. and the banner Ad you will never notice on the homepage. I never do.

Choosing
It's bad.. I can't set up the time (unregistered kindle has smaller settings), can't make collections (which I actually don't need to). Otherwise original screensavers are really nice (some of them), so I will keep my K3 unregistered. Maybe sometimes. Thanks to all

For $30 you can get out of the special offers. However I am not troubbled by them in the least. In fact I like the fact that amazon changes them for me once ever few days, gives me something new to look at.

Scrnsaver
I have the K3 one day, a haven't enough enjoyed original screensavers yet. Maybe after few weeks or months, I'll register my Kindle to get ,,new,, screensavers. Finally it's quite good to have option to let picture change.
