FREE OFFICIAL outage on Kindle Paperwhite with Special Offers
Good day to all fans of e-books that live on Habré!
Unfortunately, I publish a post about Amazon Kindle Paperwhite in the hub of Amazon Web Services, because there is not enough karma to publish in the corresponding hubs of Amazon Kindle or "E-books".
This post will be small and dedicated to how you can officially and free of charge disable advertising (Special Offers) in the new Kindle Paperwhite (although the method, as I understand it, is relevant for all generations and Kindle models). Today, my Paperwhite with Special Offers came to me, and I immediately began to smoke Google in search of a relatively safe and proven method of getting rid of advertising (it should be noted that this advertisement doesn’t interfere with the reading process, I just don’t like it).

In this post , I described a way to remove ads from the Kindle without even using a computer, and in the same post I had a dialogue with the vasilyev habrauser , in which he hinted at the ethical side of the issue (by getting rid of ads, I’m cheating "the seller, who sold me device at a reduced price just with the condition that I will see advertising). At one of the forums, I found an interesting piece of advice - to contact Amazon technical support with a request to turn off advertising in my Kindle, citing the fact that I do not live in the US and do not have the opportunity to either pay to turn off advertising, or use Special Offers. What the hell is not joking, I thought, and decided to try. Actually, I attach a screenshot of correspondence with Amazon technical support:
As can be understood from the correspondence, all that is required for this method is for the Kindle to be registered with an account whose billing address is not in the USA, as in my case.
Simultaneously with the chat message that Special Offers were successfully disabled, an identical informational message appeared on my Kindle screen.
That is, in fact, everything - quickly, simply, safely and completely legally. Enjoy using your Kindle without ads! :)
UPD : Information from the habrayuser independence777 appeared in the comments that he also managed to use this method, but only from the second attempt. I don’t know for sure if theHindu Amazon tech support officer considered the arguments insufficient for the first time or simply didn’t understand them, but it worked successfully the second time (however, they asked for your Kindle, in my case it wasn’t).
UPD 2 : Just received a letter from Amazon, in which they looked like - they say, today our technical support officer has solved this and that problem of yours. They asked if I was pleased with the service and quality of service and asked to leave feedback. So I was not lazy and happily followed the link, ponastavil everywhere on five stars (assessment of the quality of service on several points) and wrote a satisfied and laudatory review. Everyone is well, everyone is happy.
