Recently, I bought one of the cheapo Amazon tablets to have a &quot;beater&quot; I didn&#x27;t need to worry about.<p>Sure, the price was nice.  But the full-page ad upon every lock screen, that is too easy to trigger into video play when trying to swipe to unlock, has rather put me off.<p>I won&#x27;t be buying another Amazon tablet.  And I&#x27;m glad I never got one of their phones -- I shudder to think.<p>It&#x27;s <i>my</i> computer &#x2F; tablet &#x2F; phone &#x2F; computing device.  The more you work to make and demonstrate otherwise, the more I&#x27;m going to move away from you.<p>I just hope I keep having a choice.  And I have to consider my individual role in making sure that is the case.
