There are a bunch of comments about how this is the default experience now. It's only the default experience if you buy the ads-free version.

Since I don't want to pay extra to disable the ads, the trick I figured out is to buy the Kindle for Kids. It comes with a cover, no ads, and a 2 year warranty. You can turn off the kids stuff with one switch, and then it's just a normal Kindle.

If you buy it on Black Friday or one of their other sale days, you should be able to get it for the same price or less than the regular edition would be when not on sale.

They closed that loophole. Kindles for Kids now show ads when not in Kids mode.

I could see you loading up a book they deemed not kid friendly and being told sorry you can not read this book on this device.

Kindle for Kids is not available outside the US afaik. At least not in a lot of European countries.
