Huh. Yeah that must be a thing with newer models. Mine doesn't have any magnets, and its not in a shape a case would even make sense. I do press a button to dismiss the "screensaver" (the thing that keeps you from accidentaly turning pages with side buttons when not in use), but I don't see an ad on that screensaver. It's pencils laying on a book, and has been for about a decade now.
This is how the case works.
With the ad supported kindle, there would be another screen showing the ad before you could use it.
Not a huge deal, but it does get a little annoying
It basically prevents you from being able to use the feature of the case
The ads were a lot less noticeable on the older kindles with the keyboard
Oh that's interesting. That makes sense. Like I said I'm using the Kindle 4 from 2011 and it has a slightly different form factor and no way to use a magnetic case.
