Not always obvious. I've stopped several relatives from making that mistake.

For some reason, they're inclined to trust Amazon.

It is always obvious.

This is the first one that pops up if you search "kindle" on Amazon.

I'm not sure how more clearly you could show the variants with and without ads.

I don't think it was an adware version, though I can't exactly recall, it might've been. It doesn't show ads on the lock screen, but you still get "suggestions" on the home screen instead of your onboard library if it's connected to wifi.
