Today I bought a new Kindle Paperwhite to replace a broken Voyage. The Sleep screen and the Home screen both have Special Offers ( ie adverts ) on them, for chargers, cases, books, cables etc.
All I can find online is that Paperwhites with Special Offers are only sold in the USA. This one was bought from John Lewis. In order to remove Special Offers in USA it seems you have to pay Amazon to do so.
I can find a way ( I hope) of removing Special Offers from the Sleep screen but can only block offensive material ( " not suitable for all audiences" ) from the Home screen, where the advert takes up about 1/8th of the screen.
Is this right ? Are new Paperwhites coming complete with adverts or are JL buying cheaper American versions ?
Edit to add: The Sleep screen has just appeared, complete with advert so I clearly can't remove adverts from the Sleep screen
