I believe you’re right. However, if memory serves, the ads did change occasionally, meaning the screen had to refresh, leading to increased battery usage.
Comment on None of these people exist, but you can buy their books on Amazon anyway

It's not my favorite thing but iirc the lock screen is supposed to be the only place with ads.

Yes, and in fairness to them that’s how it has been. The ads are only for stuff sold on the kindle store too, so not like you’re seeing ads for hot singles in your area or some shit on your kindle. It’s only now that the store is flooded with this AI garbage that the ads have become annoying.
