I haven't seen an ad in a book for over six years now, so I'm not sure where this "most books have ads" comes from.
Unless you mean the single page "other books by this author" list at the beginning of the book between the copyright and the TOC.
Anyway, Elfwreck's point was not that ebooks won't have ads because people don't like ads, but rather that ebooks won't have ads because the market isn't viable enough to make the price worthwhile (no advertiser will pay $1 to reach a
maximum of 1 customer) and because the technology for ebooks is in such a state of flux at the moment that it's not currently viable.
