$25 just isn't enough of a discount for something that was already pretty well-priced.<p>I don't mind ad-supported sites / apps especially if it means I don't have to pay for them, but to put ads on an entire device that I <i>own</i> -- that's a no no for me.
So for $25 less, they get to display advertisements for (presumably) the lifetime of the device? No thank you, that's a terrible deal!<p>Though the hacker in me wonders how long it would take someone to remove/disable the ads. Modified firmware, maybe?
I don't think its enough of a discount to be honest. I would not even consider it for $25. $50 maybe. I would have thought amazon could get $50 / user for these ads over the lifetime of the device.
