I prefer that the last "page" of a eBook isn't just the end of the story. Like Jordan said above, it could be an "About the Author". A lot of my old eReader eBooks have publisher information or copyright stuff at the end. It could even be a "stay tuned" sort of excerpt for the author's next book.
But I've been frustrated more than once when I reached the end of the eBook, but couldn't tell if it was the true end of the story. (And yes, I'm one who doesn't care for ambiguous endings in general, although there are always exceptions).
On the other hand, if I saw "The End" at the end of an eBook, it would seem less than polished (more likely to be an independent eBook publisher, for example). I can see a publisher requiring it from the author in the original drafts, but then I would expect other "cues" (like that "About The Author" section, for example) rather than a bald "The End" statement.
