When buying a Kindle in the UK, Amazon gives you two options:
a Kindle with ads or without ads.
The price difference is usually around £10, so many people wonder whether it’s worth paying extra.
What does “Kindle with ads” actually mean?
Kindles sold with ads:
- show ads on the lock screen
- does not show ads inside books
- function exactly the same otherwise
The ads are usually for Amazon books or services.
What happens if you buy a Kindle without ads?
A Kindle without ads:
- has a clean lock screen
- no promotional content displayed
- offers the same reading experience once inside a book
The only difference is the absence of lock-screen ads.
Can you remove ads later?
Yes.
If you buy a Kindle with ads, Amazon usually allows you to pay later to remove them through your Amazon account.
This means choosing “with ads” isn’t permanent.
Which option do most people choose?
Many buyers choose:
- with ads to save money upfront
- without ads if they know ads will annoy them
Because the price difference is small, this decision often comes down to personal preference.
Where to buy Kindles in the UK
Amazon sells both options directly and frequently runs discounts.
