Hate loud commercials? The MyVolume adapter quiets ‘em down
I don’t think there’s a single person outside of Madison Avenue who thinks loud commercials are a good thing. In fact, I’d say that if there were an easy way to quiet them down, everyone would jump at it.

Of those three, the main beneficiary may very well be old-style magazines. The black-and-white Kindle doesn’t do magazines justice, and they never really quite translated to the Web. The magic of a magazine is all in the layout—the interplay of lush prose with stunning photography or standout illustrations.
