You pay for the unit, the ads are something you can disable via Amazon's website at anytime. Its not its own model.wonkabars7 wrote:Perhaps a dumb Paperwhite question:
So you pay more for a unit without ads, which = 'special offers'?
What book(s) are you reading???

Paperwhite definitely a nicer unit w/superior battery life than the fire tablet, not sure twice as nice though. $119 vs $50.
Pro tip- For those who checkout ebooks from the library. If you change to airplane mode before the book is do back, it stays on the reader indefinitely for you to finish.

Ha, I meant the book "It"chevyav53 wrote:Yeah, hooked me right away. Just that intro dialogue brought back so many memories. My best friend at the time was all Nintendo and I was all Sega and Coleco Vision. A great era to be a part of.
Ha, fudge I read that as a teen, fooking hate clowns ever since. Then that 90s movie that was for TV.... done..but waiting for some fool to come at me in the street in a clown mask after the move is released take some of that fear out on them.

I saw that movie in like 5th grade and was scared of clowns until high school. To this day the scariest movie I ever saw in terms of how it affected me, ha. Can't wait for the remake in a week!
Funny to think now but scariest movie is Critters. Still my favorite Uncle put it on when parents went out of town for us and I was in 6th or something..... to this day I wait for a pair of red eyes to peer through the kitchen window at night.

Read "Shattered" recently, good recap of the shitstorm of the 2016 election.
Now reading "Sapiens", believe it was recommended by Jermaine Rogers in an insta post. Book is straight up rewiring my brain and the way I view our existence.

100 pages into The Goldfinch. Sheesh, not sure I want to keep reading! Heavy. Luckily I'm also reading Jeffrey Tambor's new autobiography. Some funny fudge.
