The problem with making a business model rest on paying to remove anti-features in a product is that once you have sold the product, you don't own it any more, and you are inviting competitors to remove the anti-features for a lower price.

Expect competitors who will sell, say, a $10 program that will disable the ads by rooting the phone and installing an alternate image without the anti-features.




At the $15 price point, the only other price point Amazon should worry about is $0.

I would imagine few people would go through the hassle and risk of finding and trusting a third party software to remove the ads to save $5 or $10
