    I think it’s only Amazon that does lock screen ads but since they have two-thirds of the market share globally (and a near monopoly in the US where the Verge is based) then whatever they do in the e-reader space is “normal”

      Just talking here in the US, the only competitor Amazon has really had here is Nook which also has lock screen ads

          I know but I meant as popularity wise. I don’t think most people outside the Hard-core privacy/tech focused crowd know it.

            Yeah it’s a big contrast to continental Europe where if you go into any electronics shop they’ll have Kobos on display as prominent as Kindles.
