To customize the screensaver on your Kindle, users need to first address the issue of Special Offers, which typically appear on ad-supported devices. These ads result in a lower purchase price, approximately $20 less than the ad-free versions. If your Kindle displays these advertisements, it will limit your ability to personalize the sleep screen.
To remove Special Offers, users have two options: via the Amazon website or the mobile app. On the website, after logging in, navigate to the "Manage Content and Devices" section under "Digital Content & Devices." Select your Kindle and find the option to remove ads for a fee of $20. Alternatively, on the mobile app, use the "Alexa for Shopping" feature to request the removal of ads, which similarly costs $20.
For those who do not have lockscreen ads, customization can proceed directly without any additional payments. However, international users with a US-version Kindle may encounter challenges when attempting to remove ads due to billing requirements.
