kindle fire hdx ... special offers???

[calamitygin]

Can anyone tell me what 'with special offers' means for the kindle fire hdx? Costs £199 with and £209 without. Makes no sense to me ...surely you want it to come with the special offers whatever they are ...what are they? [Confused]

I think they mean ads. You pay for the ad-free version?
Ads that show up on the home screen and what not.

Why would anyone NOT pay the extra £10 to be ad free or am I missed something. Bit of a bloody cheek in the first place though.

Anyone got any experience of these ads, how many pop up and how intrusive are they?

No I don't have one.. so don't know how intrusive they are. But it IS amazon so I'm guessing no subtlety. Agree about the bloody cheek!
I'm thinking of getting a samsung pad in stead.

Yeah, so hard to choose. Might go with a nexus 7, keep changing my mind!
