If you want a free version of the book, you'll have to endure an advert every so many pages, otherwise, pay up front?

"Nagware" is often counter-productive with the nagging leading to people swearing off anything from that source ever again. However Wowio is working with free ad-supported books and they're not bad. They limit you to 3 per day (it works very well for books, not so well for comics) and send you a tagged PDF with a single advertisement page at the beginning.
It's not bad at all.
