I don't really think an e-book could sell enough if an ad was in the middle of the book - and people knew about it. It'd be the equivalent of putting an ad in the middle of your favorite movie. I believe that just wouldn't be profitable.

Tell that to ABC, TBS, AMC, NBC, CBS, USA, etc. who run movies with commercials.
