Head
over there to see the full instructions, but the gist is that you're opening up
the system folder on your Kindle via your computer and deleting the files that
contain the advertisements, then putting a dummy file there to block access.
This way, when your Kindle tries to find the ads, they get nothing instead. It
also tries to fool the Kindle into thinking that there's no connection (because
it can't write to the folder where it downloads new ads), so you never get new
ads.
If
you do this, keep two things in mind. Future updates might disable this
functionality (it's easy to detect and easy to do a workaround, if you're a
Kindle programmer), so check before you update. Also, you're basically taking
upwards of $30 from Amazon by doing this, depending on how many ads you've
already seen. There was an agreement, either implicit or explicit (I didn't
read the EULA) that you pay a lower price in exchange for being advertised to.
Not saying it's right or wrong, just something you should think about.
