They’re not really losing all that much, they’re just not getting the expense covered by the mere purchase of the object. Me, I don’t like having clothes that are billboards for vendors (I’ll make specific exceptions — like for Coca Cola), and I don’t want ads on equipment I’m likely to be using everyday. That’s one reason why my principal email is on my domain-hosted account (for which I pay) rather than any of the “free” emails I have. I hate the distractions of ads and news feeds cluttering the webpage.

According to friend of mine, the ads are the best reason to buy the Kindle. The deals include exclusives good enough to eventually pay for the cost of the device in the first place.

Way less ads than most apps on my Droid!
