When you launch your Kindle you face a screen of adverts
Swipe to open it and they disappear not to be seen again until you open it next time.1 -

All models of Kindle come with/without adverts, depending on whether your pay more for the advert free one. You can pay to "upgrade" the advert version later, if the adverts annoy you.2 -
As long as an advert does not pop up when I am reading it does not matter.Why bother paying extra just to get rid of an ad that does not actually impact once you swipe at the start?1
