Sorry if this has been posted before...

It used to cost £10 to remove the ads but if you contact amazon (I used the online help) they will remove the adds from the lock screen for free.

Then if you want to remove the ads from the carousel you can go into the settings - applications - Amazon Home Recommendations and select hide recommendations.

Thats it, no more ads!

    Amazon Helper: "Hi, I'm Sandra - how can I help you today?"
    Funkymonkeyboy: "Hi Sandra. One of your colleagues very helpfully removed adverts from my Kindle yesterday..."
    Amazon Helper: "Yes, I can see that on your account. Is it to your satisfaction now?"
    Funkymonkeyboy: "Actually, I wonder if you could put them back on, for me? Turns out I actually liked them, and now I miss them."




    Helpful tip - thanks Chriseybaby. Heat added.

    Well, got a £10 refund. Took a bit of to-ing & fro-ing on the chat, but eventually got a £10 refund issued to my Amazon account.

    Cheers OP!

    It seems to be hit-and-miss on whether they'll mention it to you or not. … It seems to be hit-and-miss on whether they'll mention it to you or not. But they'll remove them for free once you mention how loyal an Amazon customer you are! Must say, I'm VERY impressed with the Fire.



    Spoke too soon! Just checked my email to find a message from Amazon thanking me for my £10 cancellation payment!!!!! Straight back on the phone and got this refunded!

    Worked for me. Said the pitch about it costing £10 and policies have changed so it's no longer free. Said I was a loyal customer and they said they'd make an exception and take it away for free. Thanks folks!
  17. owencutaja's avatar
    Still works. Got asked for £10, I asked if they would waive it and they agreed. Ads removed for free
  18. deleted924641's avatar
    Do you have to call amazon or email? Been wanting the ads removed for ages!
  19. rashriaz's avatar

    Thanks for this. Also did mine via live chat. They said it may take up to four hours for the ads to be disabled. Amazing what you learn and can save on HUKD. Heat added.

    This is why I like my kobo ereader... none of this nonsense with ads to begin with.

    has everyone been successful i.e. does it depend on if you bought your kindle direct or are a regular customer?
