“This is getting ridiculous and I’m about to just toss the whole thing and move back to Google,” one Redditor said of the “full-volume” ads for Alexa+ on their Echo Show.

Oh sweet summer child, Google is NOT going to be any better at this. That will just be changing one corporate evil for another.

      Well, kindle e-ink e-readers are different from kindle lcd ipad knockoffs. The ereaders do have a subsidized tier that is cheaper by like $30 and shows ads on the lock screen. The ipad knockoffs are trash that arent worth looking at in the first place so I dont even know if they show ads but I bet they do. Dont buy either.

      I may remember badly but I think in the days, the small one was only with ads and tiers were for the bigger tablet 🤔 (more than 10 years though so my memory is hazy)
