Does that also show up in the ads free version? I’m looking at getting a kindle and that might be a deal breaker to me, I’ll have to look at alternatives

This might be a result of my Kindle being old, it's the 2012 model. It doesn't have ads.

I am concerned that it might break, because none of the newer Kindle work like the old one. It has button, a non-touch display and isn't backlit, all things I consider must have feature, or non-features. Personally I don't understand why they didn't just stop development at that point and just lowered prices as the components became less and less expensive.

Not defending the first two (physical page turn buttons are great!) but on my 2018 paperwhite, the backlight will turn off entirely at the lowest brightness setting.

Sounds like the Kindle Keyboard. I bought an extra one just because the Kindles all went downhill after that one.

Yes. The home menu is filled with "recommendations". Most read, trending, new releases...

I just stopped connecting the Kindles and Kobos to WiFi
