I was looking to buy a kindle for Christmas The ones with adverts which are pushed were available for next day deliver. The ones with no adverts which I wanted weren’t available for months. In the end I didn’t buy a kindle. What is it with companies that want to splat adverts everywhere.

You can buy a Kindle with ads and then pay the difference when you log into it to remove them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GJHYWUURJ5A6YMBU https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=...

  Amazon CS will also just remove ads if you ask them nicely.

    Or if you're from a country where there is no official Amazon store. Like some eastern european countries

Advertising provides recurring long-term income that far exceeds the amount you're prepared to pay for most devices. Each individual online across all devices is worth about $200/year in advertising revenue ($200bn in global revenue over about a billion individuals). Take a share of that every year and you end up making more than you would have made on the device sale without that.
