I know, right? Poorer people should just suck it up instead of having the option to get it cheaper. Wait another month to buy it and don’t offend my aesthetics.

Can you at least upgrade or you get stuck with ads until the end?

You can pay the difference between the ad-supported and ads-free model to get rid of the ads at any point, yet.

Or maybe they could make it cheaper in the first place? They got a lot of profit from the ebooks already.

That's a different argument to the one you were making. And frankly the "why isn't this cheaper, hasn't the company profited enough" argument is never a very compelling one. Amazon isn't a charity.
