    Does it allow access to the Google Market and Amazon AppStore?

      @trippap so far, just the AppStore, although they didn't rule out Google uploading their apps to their store.

      @DrVideo They only are displayed when the device is asleep (not being used), and on the tool bar when you bring it up. When you're reading a book, you won't see the ads.
