Thanks. That's a good tip. And not even much of a scam: I do have a kid who uses the device, and they do push ads for vaguely pornographic romance novels. (Though I've never read a romance novel in my life...)

No scam required, if you ask nicely they are usually happy to. Not always, but you could always try again with a different agent.

If not that, a relatively small fee will remove the ads. I believe it's under $20, one time.

They'll probably come back when the next update is pushed. That would be my bet, anyway.

Or just buy the non advert infected one.
