In this training, we covered:

  • Blaine's observation of a new type of advertisement on Kindle Lock Screens that promotes other books in the series you are reading (whether it's a paid ad or just Amazon testing a new way of making recommendations is unclear, but probably the latter.)
  • Sandra Gonyier's question about what lock screen ads on Kindle devices.
  • Faith Nelson's question about whether “Based on Your Reading” category suggestions are paid advertisements or not in the Kindle App.
