I bought two a few years ago, one for my wife and myself, without the special offers. Mine broke and I just replaced it this week during the Prime Day sale. This time I got it with the special offers and now I am furious (well, peeved) that I spent the extra money on the first two. I was afraid I’d have ads all over it but it really is just a book ad on the lock screen instead of a random stock image. Save your money and put up with the special offers.
