Typically, Ad-supported Kindles are $15 to $20 cheaper than devices without ads. While some may consider it a huge discount, other users would prefer an ad-free device since it can be a distraction or affect its usability. According to reports, Ad supported Kindles and regular Kindles have roughly the same battery life. We have an article that explains How long the expected Kindle Battery Life is for each model.
Kindle Ad-supported vs No Ads
When choosing between Kindle with Ads or without, you can look below for their main differences:
Ad Content – As its name suggests, an Ad-free Kindle will most likely have no ads, except for streamed content or related media with advertisements on their own. Kindle with ads will display targeted ads while the device is in Sleep mode through screensavers and on your recently read books.
Price – The most apparent difference between an Ad-supported Kindle vs without ads is their price. As mentioned earlier, a Lockscreen Ad-supported Kindle will cost $15-$20 lower than the Without Lockscreen Ads version. Although it may seem to be a small price to pay for some, it’s still a considerable discount for most users.
Usability – Compared to Ad-supported Kindles, Ad-free Kindles don’t require swiping the screen when turning it on. Also, you can continue your task immediately when using a Kindle without ads. Ad-supported Kindles need you to swipe the ad screen after pressing the Power button. If you are having issues with powering up, check our article on what to do if your Kindle is not working.
