Okay, now that eBooks are really taking off, what do you all think?

I for see a future where publishers will sell ad-space, and with it being a technological item, I can see it being relevant (like a book from 40 yrs ago not selling you Topps Baseball Cards for .05).

I know publishers shy away because it takes away from the reading experience in a physical book, but with digital media, I'm thinking that a 10 second ad being put at the start of the book when you open it might be coming in the next few years.

What are your thoughts?
