Call an attorney. You obviously don’t accept anything I say. Maybe if you pay big bucks you’ll accept it.

Call an attorney. You are woefully ignorant of the law.

It makes no difference. You got it at a discount. If the seller didn’t pass along the fact it contained ads, then you have a probably action against the seller. But that still does not mean you can just remove the ads. The agreement is valid for the life of the product, or until you pay Amazon to remove the ads.

When you purchased your Kindle, it was with the understanding it was being sold at a discount. This was quite plain in the offer. In return for the discount, the Kindle would display ads. This was also quite plain in the offer. You accepted the offer, therefore there is a valid sales contract between you and Amazon.

I keep mentioning HOA’s becuase they are exactly equivalent to this situation. As you indicated - you are bound by the HOA’s rules because of the purchase agreement on your house. You are bound to view ads because of the purchase agreement for your Kindle. You bought it knowing it came with adware. In return, you got

It’s not an EULA. That’s what you miss. It’s a purchase contract. And by paying the discounted price, you accepted the contract.

With the purchase of that device you agreed to a contract that Amazon would subsidize a portion of the price. In return, you would see advertisements on the device. A solid contract which would be upheld by any court in the country, despite your claims.

No, you are incorrect. U.S. courts have found EULA’s to be almost 100% valid if they are presented BEFORE the user purchases the item. It is if the restrictions are not disclosed until after the user has purchased the item it is invalid.

When you bought your PC you didn’t agree to keep the bloatware on it. That is not the case with your Kindle. You bought it at a cheaper price on the condition that you display the ads.
