In reply to Amazon Patent Details Ad-Supported Kindle Books
Ads are a necessary evil. Sure, nobody opts for them when they don't have to, but without them we literally wouldn't have TV, newspapers, magazines or websites like Gizmodo. So the fact that Amazon is considering a way to bring them to the Kindle makes perfect sense. As long as there is an option to pay for ad-free versions, I don't mind it a bit. In fact, I think it's a food idea because it will put more information in the hands of more people for less money. And it will sell more BubbleYum, which will just make this world a happier place.
