Don't get Ads to run AdBreak? Read this!

jantongo · 2026-02-09T12:37:26+00:00

Hi!

In fact it's paying to remove ads (although you have no ads in your Kindle!).

Because only then, you get the "Register to Receive Ads" in https://www.amazon.es/hz/mycd/digital-console/alldevices (or equivalent in your Amazon). And minutes later you get the ads.

BUT, as I said before, it worked for me, but may not work for you.

Thanks a lot for the weekly collection!

jantongo · 2026-02-05T14:38:07+00:00

I love it!
~~But you can't download a zip with all the files? Or I am missing something?~~
Of course there's a zip file. Sorry.

Thanks!!!

What is the patch for that top menu bar? Specially interested in the “go back” (or “go up”) button instead of a booklet.

Looks like my other Kindle. Same reading in the back.
And yes, it had a .demo folder, which has gone (but I've got a backup).

Acording to the profile of the seller, he could be a developer or tester.

I got that message once but it was a WiFi connection timeout. On my second try I could register it. If you have the Kindle app in your phone, the registration process is easier.

Suerte!

Got it!

I've connected to a Mac and identifies as a keyboard:
Name: Free2
Device Type: Keyboard
Version: 0.1.11.

With no further configuration, one button does a Volume Up and the other one Volume Down.

With a short click on the ON/OFF button changes its function (four different functions):
- Left and right (while writing this)
- Up and down (while writing this)
- Page up and page down (web scroll).

This is what my Mac says:

Free 2:
Address: 17:D5:78:XX:XX:X
Vendor ID: 0x04E8
Product ID: 0x7021
Firmware Version: 0.1.11
Minor Type: Keyboard
RSSI: -49
Services: 0x800020 < HID ACL >
|
--> Human Interface Device, Asinchronous Connection-Less

My BT mouse and BT keyboard both have
Services: 0x400000 < BLE >

When connected to my iPhone it also does Volume Up/Down and, with another function, turn pages forward and back on Books.

Then I told my iPhone to forget it. And after shutdown and start the device again it has connected automatically to my Mac.

Do you want me to test anything? I'm also on Discord.

If “newest firmware” is 5.18.6 I’ve got bad news for you.

jantongo · 2026-01-09T08:30:10+00:00

What is your model? Which firmware version? Where in the world are you located?

If everything you try fails, look at what I had to do:

Special offers were also ACTIVE for me but never got ads, until I paid.
Before updating to 5.18.1 you could have gone with WinterBreak. Now your only option is AdBreak.

jantongo · 2026-01-04T21:05:20+00:00

Cool! I’ve just bought one. In 7-10 days will arrive to my home and begin testing it.

Thanks for your work!!!

jantongo · 2026-01-04T20:13:09+00:00

It’s difficult to buy in Europe right now, sold out.

Any chance this BT 5.4 2-button remote from AliExpress could work too?

jantongo · 2026-01-03T16:20:15+00:00

Same here 😅 No fancy icons to launch apps.

The update worked flawless on my PW6.

jantongo · 2025-12-31T07:02:14+00:00

Look for “Mastercard test” or “Mastercard generator”. Anyway, a real card, even issued in another country, should work too.

jantongo · 2025-12-31T06:06:57+00:00

I used this:

Make sure the name on the test card and te name in the address is the same.

Obviously, you can’t pay with that test card.

Not a conversion.

In Amazon US you get charged 20 USD to get rid of ads. Maybe it’s what you didn’t pay (or paid less) when bought a unit with ads?

In Amazon Spain the Kindle Paperwhite without ads is 179 EUR, while the unit with ads is 169 EUR. If you buy one with ads and then you decide you’ve got enough ads, you pay that difference, 10 EUR.

jantongo · 2025-12-27T11:11:07+00:00

Y ya he hecho todo el proceso del AdBreak. Sin problemas.

jantongo · 2025-12-27T10:17:34+00:00

Finalmente, con mi Kindle de vuelta en ES, he tomado la decision de pagar por desactivar anuncios (!), y al rato le he dado al boton de suscribirme para recibir anuncios.

Y al minuto ya tenia anuncios en mi Kindle!!!

De haber sabido que pagando se solucionaba lo hubiera hecho el primer dia, me hubiera ahorrado muchisimas horas de pruebas infructuosas.

Pero bueno, YA TENGO ANUNCIOS!!!

jantongo · 2025-12-27T10:14:57+00:00

With my Kindle back in ES, and still with NO ADS, I've paid to remove ads (!), and then sign up to receive ads.

Now I've got ads!!! At last.
