Thank you amiga. I didn't get it either......

COOL wherever this train might be 😸

Me too, but haven't see that receptacle there in a while. And that doesn't take care of the light bulb question.

Me too! Also..... I know energy-saving light bulbs contain something that should not go into regular trash, and I a whole bunch saved but no idea what to do with them.

My info goes back to 2006, so I guess this rule, as well as many others worldwide, has changed. Would never do it anyway but......

I ASSUME you are already a dual ( or more) citizen of one or more other countries. Before you make this leap, better check out the various current entry requirements to any country you may want to visit in the future. As an example, Canada recently changed this same for Mexicans entering Canada who prior, did not need a Visa. This happened overnight, causing a lot of trouble for some. As a dual ( Canadian--Mexican) it has long been the case that I leave and re-enter Mexico on Mexican PP, but if I dind't have a Canadian PP, I'd need a Visa to enter U.S...... which takes time, money, and a long lineup ahead.

Heading says U.S.Attorney so i assume he means U.S. citizenship. Alvaro cannot help him with that

OK.... to be absolutely CRYSTAL CLEAR. When I open my 2018 kindle, I agree.... it does show a title not in my list, and I guess "read now" means connect and buy? (NEVER do that) If that's the case I'm perfectly happy without ad-blocker option. Of course that suggests we're now into some reverse psychology by Amazon. "You're used to what you see, but now we're going to offer ad-blocker option because IF we get lucky, you'll think it's a new wrinkle you don't want....... ergo we'll make another $20" My current one is my 3rd, and I ZERO recollection of this option when purchasing prior. On the other hand, I can't remember a time when, after opening case cover, this didn't happen.

Can you even do that? Canadians cannot even if they become citizens of another country..... like Mexico ( which we did).

Dogs can't do this. Neither can I 🤣

Nope. Yours, like my two previous ( had a different one before that) pre-dates this new wrinkle. Just checked Amazon.... "with or without" is now a required choice. As to how you download, sounds like a lot of complication for ??? If you put the kindle in wifi mode even with an iffy signal, books go direct from Amazon to kindle. You do, however, have to register the modem info in Settings..... one time only.

THANK YOU. I could live with what you're describing Rick. My desktop ( FIrefox) is in private browsing so I never see ads tho' hubby gets them by the truckload on his laptop. If it isn't any worse than you describe I can accept not paying extra. Anyone else with a pro or con to offer?

EXACTLY my question. Thankyou.

I have neither tablet or laptop, and wile i CAN read books at desktop it's not as comfy as my recliner! I ONLY "buy" free books on Amazon so we're equal there. I bought mine in 2018, but just before the warranty expired something went wrong and Amazon replaced it. That was Jan 202o BUT it was replaced with the original 2018 model. I think ad-blockers is something new .....to me for sure..... so it can SEEM like the price hasn't gone up that much, but in fact it's kind of like keeping price the same but reducing the container size of many things in grocery stores!
