It isn't impossible. ADE and Kindle supports some scripting, and ebooks tend to have lots of metadata. Have some simple scripts to insert an ad between chapters. Basically have it so you have a preselected ad, and for devices capable have the script overlay more up to date ads using the metadata as a basis for selecting ads.
