... Uh, lady, you -can-. This is a discount for those who wouldn't rather pay extra. Jeez.
"When you buy Kindle with Special Offers, you are getting the same bestselling Kindle for $25 less—only $114. Special offers and sponsored screensavers display on the Kindle screensaver and on the bottom of the home screen—they don't interrupt reading."
This is perfectly sane. And for a bigger discount, I'd even consider one with ads in the middle of the text.
However, I already have a smartphone with the Kindle app, so it's hard to justify spending anything on another device to plug into the wall. (Especially since I don't mind reading on an LCD at all.)
