I paid to remove the ads on my first Kindle from YEARS ago, and each time I upgrade, I reach out to customer service and ask if I can have the "ads free" option transferred to my new device. And they have done it each time I ask! It's wonderful.
So happy I found your video!! I was able to contact Amazon support and they removed my adds for $free.99!😜 They asked me why I want them removed, so I said “I hate seeing shirtless men all the time.” Their reply was “sorry to hear that” lol😂 Thank you for these awesome tips!
Hey love the tips here. I just wanted to add for the first tip where you have a blank screen. If it's in dark mode, the screen will be black but if it's in normal mode, the screen will be a gray color. Wasn't sure if you knew this or not. If you did, my bad! I just found this channel and I am loving it do much.
It worked !!! I texted Amazon support and said that the ads I was seeing where annoying and that I wasn't interested in the recommended books. In a matter of minutes my ads where removed no questions asked ! Thank you for showing me this trick !
As someone who goes skipping down the street cluelessly with their devices mostly at default settings...THANK YOU!! You made me a better person. 🤣😂😂 And made me love my Kindle even more!
You have my like for using "skipping down the street", it made me smile... love when people write with an interesting flavor even about the most mundane of things.... ❤
I love that kindle automatically puts books in a collection if there is a series, that way you don’t have to continue to look for them after you finish book one for example and you need book two.
It worked for me too! Sent and email to consumer support from the kindle app saying I couldn't find the option to turn ads off...they replied with in a few hours and deactivated them for free
I watched your vid and just went and contacted Amazon via chat and asked them to remove the ads from my brand new Oasis. Just like you said, they did it. Thank you very much. On a side note, I also own a Paperwhite Signature Edition from last year... I prefer it due to the USB-C interface and it also did not have ads on it. Now both are ad free, I will do another comparison and let you know.
I had forgotten how to scroll quickly when I flicked up the other day, so I tried your tip. The grid was grayed out and did not work for the book I tried. However the bar with the circle on it at the bottom as also shown on your screen allows me to drag it and scroll through pages with incredible rapidity. A tip I find useful which I don't think you mentioned in either the prior tip video or this one is that by tapping at the bottom left of the Kindle screen one can quickly adjust which location information is shown by toggling through the choices including having it blank. So if it has changed the info you want or gone blank, just tap there to change it. My usual setting is the time until the end of the book. Thanks for your videos. I did subscribe. All the Kindles our family currently, routinely, use are ad free, but I will try to remember it anyway, just in case. Since I pick up and put down my Kindle a lot, having ads pop up slowed me down too much. During long reading periods they are not an issue.
Hello. I love the tip on the audiobook narration. I did everything you said but when I start to listen to the book, I hit the reading little tab in the bottom Right hand corner to take me back to the book and read along but the audio stops. Is there something I missing. I do this exact same thing in the middle app on my phone and it’s flawless but on the kindle itself it is not working. Tips? Thank you
Just had my ads removed for free from my Kindle Oasis 👏👏 Went to Customer Support chat and asked. The Rep did go off for a minute to check and came back and it was already done. Thanks so much for the tip!
Removing ads for me did work via chat. However it took two attempts. The first person I talked to said it would be $20. Waited about a week went back on and then the second person after "talking to a supervisor" took them off for free.
I’ve been a Kindle user since the dawn of Kindle and didn’t know about the Grid option. I read a lot of textbooks for a study program, and am finding this really helpful now to be able to quickly go back to review text highlights I made a few pages back.
I believe either you made a mistake or I misunderstood. At about minute 6:10 you said that you could read along with the narration (amazon calls this immersion reading). This is possible on the Kindle app for both ios and Android but I don’t think you can do it on any Kindle e-ink device (at least I’ve not been able to get it to work) Using an ebook for which I also downloaded the audiobook, and that shows the headphone icon on the book cover in the library, (and that works for immersion reading on my IPAD) I have no trouble downloading the audiobook to my kindle paperwhite 11th gen, connecting my speakers, and listening to the audiobook. However, when I try to switch back to the eBook, the audio stops. I really enjoy immersion reading and would love to do it on my Kindle paperwhite. Have you discovered something I’ve missed?
Your vids are very high quality, but pay attention to really dial in the gain on that mic... rode lavalier systems can provide quite a bit better audio!
Thanks for the tips! I had mine removed as well, and it was effortless. It was a brief chat with their representative, and just a few questions and boom! ads are gone! thanks!
I just discovered your channel and loved what I saw and heard. Thus I subbed after watching your two Kindle tips videos. Liking your sense of humour was of course a bonus. Thank you for making me laugh (really needed it) and for your help. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪 and have a great weekend. 😊
GUYS! the disable ads feature actually works! it didnt take 5 min and they took it off with no questions/reasons asked. Just give me its SN and good bye. Great stuff Dylan!
Thank you for your tips. I just got a kindle and with not written included instructions I was having a hard time trying to navigate it. You have helped me immensely. I do have a question though. when I have finished a book can I archive it and if I do can I later retrieve it to my library?
I just asked and they took adds off. Thanks for the tip. I do not have the option to display book cover. I bought the new 11th gen 16gb. I restarted and still not there. Also the grid view does not enable. It is also updated
Do you happen to know if there is a way, as a reader to increase the paragraph spacing specifically? I find the majority of ebooks I get from Amazon and even importing .epubs, the paragraphs have little to no spacing and it drives my ADHD brain nuts because I can’t easily land on blocks (paragraphs) to know where I want to read to in any given sitting. When I Google this question, I only get the recommendations for authors who are formatting their ebooks for the Kindle store, which obviously don’t apply to the reader. I’ve played with the only spacing option I could find, which was the sentence spacing and that doesn’t help at all. I wouldn’t even buy a physical book if it didn’t have enough spacing between paragraphs as I find it crammed and chaotic. If you have any tips for this, please please share it. Thank you 😊
In the section of your video discussing the audible feature you said you could listen to the audible book and at the same time read the text, also known as immersive reading. This is possible on the kindle app on my iPhone or Fire, but I cannot find it declared to be possible on any Kindle device. It will not work on my Kindle PaperWhite Signature. The text-to-speech feature is possible but horrible.
This is a really great question! In hindsight, I was much too vague in the video about this feature. Immersion reading definitely seems to be hit or miss for a lot of people. I don’t know how helpful it will be, but I found this on audible.com: help.audible.com/s/article/how-can-i-use-immersion-reading-on-a-kindle-device?language=en_US
@@dylancanread Thanks Dylan. I looked at that site and others. Many others have complained about the immersive reading lack for Kindle devices. I hope the new 2022 Kindle Oasis has it.
i contacted Amazon by chat today. I asked if I paid for the ads to be taken off and later gave this Kindle to a family member or sold it, would it be permanent or would that person have to pay when they registered the device in their name. They said it would be permanent. Without me asking, they offered to take the ads off for free! YAY! So now I am ad-free thanks to your video and it saved me some money! Thanks, love your videos!
The Grid View. 😱 Sometimes I’ll tap on my kindle by accident and things pop up and I’m not even sure where I hit it on the screen and can’t get back to it. lol So thank you! And that’s the one thing that frustrates me is trying to go back a few pages and it takes forever! You have some great videos! I subbed!
Great question! Here are some instructions from audible.com: help.audible.com/s/article/how-can-i-use-immersion-reading-on-a-kindle-device?language=en_US
I know that this video was made by an American (for an American audience), but it should be noted that, in no country that I am aware of, does the *audio book option* work with (any version of Kindle) outside of the U.S. When I first bought my Kindle Oasis, it was an option, and then several months later, Amazon (in their infinite wisdom), removed the ability to listen to (any) audio books along with the text from a Kindle. That feature is exclusive to the U.S. only.
Thank you for the video. Very Helpful. I have a question. Is there a way I can hear a word I am looking up in the dictionary via bluetooth? Or hear the word using the translation function: English to English? I hope this make sense.
I want a Kindle, but I love annotating and highlighting my books. On the Kindle there’s no color options for highlighting. Is there a way around that or a hack?
I got a plr book I edit it change the title and the cover add images uploaded it on Amazon the book was still blocked. Plz what else do I hve to do to get my book approval
hello Dylan, I send Epub to my kindle, I sent already almost 10 books but in my kindle library they don't have the covers. If you know how to see the covers can you please help me. Thank you
Thanks again for all the tips. I am interested in trying to take some of the books off of my paper white carousel. I know I can delete the book but I don’t want to delete all of them. I do like to reread some of the books. My old KINDLE Fire and my kindle app allow me to do that. Not my paper white. Any tips?
Hi Chris, I’m sorry you’re having this issue! I’m not sure if it exactly addresses your issue, but I found this article that might be helpful: www.amazonforum.com/s/question/0D54P00006zSqN3SAK/remove-books-from-carousel-feature Thanks for watching! 😁
I just want to say thank you so much! I messaged Amazon about removing my ads off me and my husband’s kindle and asked if they could remove them for free and they did!🙌🏻😩 Now I don’t have to look at weird men on my Lock Screen😅. Thank you so much again for that tip👏🏻
My question is- if u have kindle unlimited and download books, u get them forever? Or is it like Libby and returns? I have 3 months free and might stop after 3 months!
Hi, thank you for these great tips. I am actually thinking about purchasing my first Kindle paperwhite. A noob question here, does the Kindle save the page you are in? Or will I have to navigate to it everytime I use it?
No that’s a really great question! The kindle will remember where you left off in all your books! So if you start multiple books at once, it will keep your place in all of them.
Heyy i have a kindle basic 10th generation and i am not able to use audible narration on it even my kindle app on my phone doesmt show the headphone symbol on the book, my audible store on my kindle just shows a blank page can you help me with it
Sadly I messaged them and was not able to get the ads taken off for free. He said "there is no way to for us to waive the charge" ...maybe they are finally catching on? Or maybe I just spoke to the wrong person, I'll try again another day.
I can’t get the reading time reset to work for me! I have retyped it multiple times, tried at the beginning of a new chapter, and just can’t figure out why it won’t work for me.
That’s strange! I’m sorry it isn’t working. If you’ve already tried this, please ignore, but maybe try typing the code in to the search bar on your “home” page on the kindle, and if that doesn’t work, try typing it into the search bar from the “library” page. Hope that’s helpful!
Great question! And no user error at all, I think I was a bit vague in that section of the video! To view just your collections, click the 3 lines menu (it’s the one with one long line, a medium line, and a short line - all horizontal) at the top right of your library page and then under “view options” select “collections.” I hope that’s helpful! 😁
No such luck having a the ads removed from my kindle paperwhite through chat. I’ll try again in a week or so. Pretty bad customer service even after i told them i subscribe to audible and kindle unlimited
So I called amazon and asked them to remove ads for free, she said she can’t physically do it, the system won’t let her. I said ok, thanks anyway. Then I hung up. A minute later, a message flashed on my Kindle that ads were removed and I was charged $20. I called back and told them what happened and that I never authorized or said I’d pay for it. I was refunded and “since I’m a prime member”, he left the ads off anyway.
Hi. I got the new Kindle as a gift from my lovely wife. She reads on her phone so has no desire to “borrow” my kindle for now. Saw both your videos and great tips thank! I do have a question. I’m a bit confused on how to sort or view books I’ve already have downloaded and read versus books I haven’t read. Is there a way to just show books I’ve recently downloaded but haven’t started yet? I typically don’t reread books so when I am done with a book I don’t necessarily need to see it again. Also is there a way to search for a book that’s only in my library? Using that big search bar it brings up similar titles to the book I’m trying to find on the online store AND in my library. Can I tell search to only look in my library or only look in store If I want a new book?
Thanks so much for watching! And great question. When you are on the Library page, you should be able to turn on a filter so that only books you haven’t read are displayed. Unfortunately I don’t believe there is a way to only search for books in your library. Hope that was helpful! Thanks again for watching!
@@dylancanread hi. I came back to this video and your other tips video as a refresher. May I say sir I created my first collection using your instructions and an hour later I had all my books sorted into collections. I like that I can name the collection using my own title and put any book into it. Now when I’m in a mood for something specific I can find it alot easier than just scrolling endlessly in my library. Keep up the good work! By the way did your wife get her own 2021 PW yet or is she still taking yours?😊
Just asked in chat and the person said no maybe I will try later. She said she could ask, but if they said no I would have to be ok with them charging the fee/mentioned I got some off buying the device. I said no thank you. I mentioned I was disappointed due to already paying a fee for fire tablet, but that did not help.
Oh no! I have no idea what their “criteria” is (if any) for deciding who gets ads turned off for free and who doesn’t. A few others have said that it took two tries before it worked, so I would definitely try again at some point in the future! 😁
Thanks Dylan for the tips just got off the 📱 with Amazon, tried to my ads off for FREE but no luck😢, Mike at customer non-service charged me 20 smackers(boo hoo) bummer thanks for the info , life goes on!! LOL mahalo😊
Update on my ad removal call to Amazon, after my call & payment to Amazon I waited to see the results. I didn't know only the ads on the locked screen would be gone so I called customer service to bitch & was told nothing could done $ would not be refunded. After I explained that I was not told only locked screens would be blocked Chris said he would refund me $10.02 to my card, so I accepted that as I was partly at fault, so everything is OK now😊
Amazon customer service said they'd be happy to remove my ads for $20. I said that on my budget, it wasn't a $20 issue, I was just tired of seeing shirtless guys with tattoos and billionaires in $5000. suits. Two minutes later the ads were gone! I guess it helps to know how to ask!
You may just have to try again later through the customer service chat. I made two attempts (I ended the first one too early) and it worked with the second person I had
Free ads removing works. I opened a chat and woman didn't know how to do it on my device. Two hours later I opened new chat and guy did it with no sweat. So... be persistent.
Tried removing Ads, chatted with Amazon, said my lil sistes uses the kindle too and i'm tired of seeing naked men in the ads, they removed them immediately for free 😂
First of all, im over 20 years an Amazon-costumer (Amazon Germany), and i have to say unlocking the ad-free-version via chat never cost a single cent. This works also with other Amazon devices, like the Fire-tables. i unlocked already 30-35 Amazon devices for free. But its never a guarantee that this works. Edit: BTW you should mention that removing the ads is permanent, also if you later sell the device oder use annother Amazon-account.
I paid to remove the ads on my first Kindle from YEARS ago, and each time I upgrade, I reach out to customer service and ask if I can have the "ads free" option transferred to my new device. And they have done it each time I ask! It's wonderful.
That’s so great!
So happy I found your video!! I was able to contact Amazon support and they removed my adds for $free.99!😜 They asked me why I want them removed, so I said “I hate seeing shirtless men all the time.” Their reply was “sorry to hear that” lol😂 Thank you for these awesome tips!

So glad it worked! :)
Omg it worked! Thank you!
re: removing ads... if at first you don't succeed, try, try again! It didn't work for me the first time I tried but it did the second time!
I want a Kindle, but I love annotating and highlighting my books. On the Kindle there’s no color options for highlighting. Is there a way around that or a hack?
Unfortunately I don’t think there is! Hopefully that will change one day soon!
The free ad removing has worked for me every time. Better chances via chat tho. Via the phone once they tried charging me. YMMV of course.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing, Francisco!

hello Dylan, I send Epub to my kindle, I sent already almost 10 books but in my kindle library they don't have the covers. If you know how to see the covers can you please help me. Thank you
No more adds here!! Yeah!! Thank you!!
I'm so glad it worked! :)
Thanks again for all the tips. I am interested in trying to take some of the books off of my paper white carousel. I know I can delete the book but I don’t want to delete all of them. I do like to reread some of the books. My old KINDLE Fire and my kindle app allow me to do that. Not my paper white. Any tips?
Hi Chris, I’m sorry you’re having this issue! I’m not sure if it exactly addresses your issue, but I found this article that might be helpful: www.amazonforum.com/s/question/0D54P00006zSqN3SAK/remove-books-from-carousel-feature
Thanks for watching! 😁
@@dylancanread thanks I will check it out.
I just want to say thank you so much! I messaged Amazon about removing my ads off me and my husband’s kindle and asked if they could remove them for free and they did!🙌🏻😩
Now I don’t have to look at weird men on my Lock Screen😅. Thank you so much again for that tip👏🏻
Haha yes! Some of those ads are a bit much 😅 I’m glad they removed ads for you! Thanks for watching 😁
I’m glad I’m not the only one that always got shirtless men on my lock screen lol🤣 thankfully Amazon removed our ads for free😅 shoutout to Dylan!
How do I read along with the narrator I thought that was only available on the kindle app ?
My question is- if u have kindle unlimited and download books, u get them forever? Or is it like Libby and returns? I have 3 months free and might stop after 3 months!
Last week, I went on amazon chat and asked nicely if they would remove the ads from my kindle and it was done! (No questions asked :)
So glad it worked! 😁
Hi, thank you for these great tips. I am actually thinking about purchasing my first Kindle paperwhite. A noob question here, does the Kindle save the page you are in? Or will I have to navigate to it everytime I use it?
No that’s a really great question! The kindle will remember where you left off in all your books! So if you start multiple books at once, it will keep your place in all of them.
Contents of books are not shown in kindle how to help this ?
I subbed man, I got ads disabled!! I would have never known about that, tnx
Thanks for the sub, Farid! Truly appreciate it! 😁
I contact amazon supor true the app and ask to remove the ads the did not ask why they just said ok and did😅🎉
That’s great! So glad it worked 😁
Heyy i have a kindle basic 10th generation and i am not able to use audible narration on it even my kindle app on my phone doesmt show the headphone symbol on the book, my audible store on my kindle just shows a blank page can you help me with it
That’s strange! Are you positive that the book you’re trying has audio included?
Sadly I messaged them and was not able to get the ads taken off for free. He said "there is no way to for us to waive the charge" ...maybe they are finally catching on? Or maybe I just spoke to the wrong person, I'll try again another day.
Oh no! Yes, definitely try again! I think it just depends on the person that you speak with.
Thanks for watching! 😁
I can’t get the reading time reset to work for me! I have retyped it multiple times, tried at the beginning of a new chapter, and just can’t figure out why it won’t work for me.
That’s strange! I’m sorry it isn’t working. If you’ve already tried this, please ignore, but maybe try typing the code in to the search bar on your “home” page on the kindle, and if that doesn’t work, try typing it into the search bar from the “library” page. Hope that’s helpful!
I just got a kindle and didn’t know it was ad-supported. I asked customer service and they removed it for free! It took like 3 minutes!
That’s fantastic! So glad they could take care of that for you! 😁
I actually enabled ads on my ad-free paperwhite because I like the ads for suggesting books that it thinks I’ll like
Nothing wrong with that! 😁
@@dylancanread apart from now I have even more books on my tbr 🤣
@@aaronelmore a blessing and a curse, then 🤣
Asking to have the ads removed and telling them I did not wish to pay $20 to do so worked. They made an exception and removed the ads.
So glad it worked! Thank you for watching! 😁
Has anyone tried connecting a set of headphones with a c-usb Jack?
Thanks for the tips! Did the collection however individual books still showing in the home page..user error?
Great question! And no user error at all, I think I was a bit vague in that section of the video! To view just your collections, click the 3 lines menu (it’s the one with one long line, a medium line, and a short line - all horizontal) at the top right of your library page and then under “view options” select “collections.”
I hope that’s helpful! 😁
Interesting and informative
No such luck having a the ads removed from my kindle paperwhite through chat. I’ll try again in a week or so. Pretty bad customer service even after i told them i subscribe to audible and kindle unlimited
Oh no! I’m sorry it didn’t work, but I would certainly try again!
Thank you for watching!
So I called amazon and asked them to remove ads for free, she said she can’t physically do it, the system won’t let her. I said ok, thanks anyway. Then I hung up. A minute later, a message flashed on my Kindle that ads were removed and I was charged $20. I called back and told them what happened and that I never authorized or said I’d pay for it. I was refunded and “since I’m a prime member”, he left the ads off anyway.
I’m glad it ultimately worked out!
for me it worked I quit the ads I sent a Gmail, but I'm from Panama latin america.
So glad it worked! 😁
I can't believe it, but it worked 😯
So glad it worked!
i asked nicely and they did remove the ads without charging me
I’m so glad it worked! 😁
What?!! You can listen to audiobooks on Kindle???
Yes! If you pair wireless headphone to your kindle, you can listen to audiobooks in your kindle or audible library! 😁
@@dylancanread I’m definitely gonna do that! Thanks!
Hi. I got the new Kindle as a gift from my lovely wife. She reads on her phone so has no desire to “borrow” my kindle for now.
Saw both your videos and great tips thank! I do have a question. I’m a bit confused on how to sort or view books I’ve already have downloaded and read versus books I haven’t read. Is there a way to just show books I’ve recently downloaded but haven’t started yet?
I typically don’t reread books so when I am done with a book I don’t necessarily need to see it again. Also is there a way to search for a book that’s only in my library? Using that big search bar it brings up similar titles to the book I’m trying to find on the online store AND in my library. Can I tell search to only look in my library or only look in store If I want a new book?
Thanks so much for watching! And great question. When you are on the Library page, you should be able to turn on a filter so that only books you haven’t read are displayed.
Unfortunately I don’t believe there is a way to only search for books in your library.
Hope that was helpful! Thanks again for watching!
@@dylancanread hi. I came back to this video and your other tips video as a refresher. May I say sir I created my first collection using your instructions and an hour later I had all my books sorted into collections. I like that I can name the collection using my own title and put any book into it. Now when I’m in a mood for something specific I can find it alot easier than just scrolling endlessly in my library.
Keep up the good work! By the way did your wife get her own 2021 PW yet or is she still taking yours?😊
Ha funzionato 😅 Grazie 🙏
Just asked in chat and the person said no maybe I will try later. She said she could ask, but if they said no I would have to be ok with them charging the fee/mentioned I got some off buying the device. I said no thank you. I mentioned I was disappointed due to already paying a fee for fire tablet, but that did not help.
Oh no! I have no idea what their “criteria” is (if any) for deciding who gets ads turned off for free and who doesn’t. A few others have said that it took two tries before it worked, so I would definitely try again at some point in the future! 😁
Definitely try again in a few days. I was told no first time and then yes the second time one the supposedly talked to a supervisor
Thanks Dylan for the tips just got off the 📱 with Amazon, tried to my ads off for FREE but no luck😢, Mike at customer non-service charged me 20 smackers(boo hoo) bummer thanks for the info , life goes on!! LOL mahalo😊
Update on my ad removal call to Amazon, after my call & payment to Amazon I waited to see the results. I didn't know only the ads on the locked screen would be gone so I called customer service to bitch & was told nothing could done $ would not be refunded. After I explained that I was not told only locked screens would be blocked Chris said he would refund me $10.02 to my card, so I accepted that as I was partly at fault, so everything is OK now😊
Amazon customer service said they'd be happy to remove my ads for $20. I said that on my budget, it wasn't a $20 issue, I was just tired of seeing shirtless guys with tattoos and billionaires in $5000. suits. Two minutes later the ads were gone! I guess it helps to know how to ask!
Having the screen all the time does not drain the battery whatsoever thanks to the e-ink display.
Interesting
Can I listen to the pronunciation of words ???
Amazon wanted to charge 20.00 me for the removal.
You may just have to try again later through the customer service chat. I made two attempts (I ended the first one too early) and it worked with the second person I had
Removing ads didn’t work for me they tried to charge me
Oh no! I’m sorry it didn’t work! I would definitely try again sometime soon though!
Tried again with a different person who was able to disable the ads.
So glad it worked, David!
I’m 99% sure that there would be zero difference between a blank screen and one with a screen saver
Free ads removing works. I opened a chat and woman didn't know how to do it on my device. Two hours later I opened new chat and guy did it with no sweat. So... be persistent.
Tried removing Ads, chatted with Amazon, said my lil sistes uses the kindle too and i'm tired of seeing naked men in the ads, they removed them immediately for free 😂
First of all, im over 20 years an Amazon-costumer (Amazon Germany), and i have to say unlocking the ad-free-version via chat never cost a single cent.
This works also with other Amazon devices, like the Fire-tables. i unlocked already 30-35 Amazon devices for free. But its never a guarantee that this works.
Edit: BTW you should mention that removing the ads is permanent, also if you later sell the device oder use annother Amazon-account.
I appreciate your insight! Great points!
