As long as I have the option to purchase what I want without advertising, sure, why not.
I still don't think these price drops everyone wants are ever going to come. The millions upon millions of devices that are being sold are going into the hands of everyday consumers, people who are used to paying retail prices for the few books they read a week / month. They are going to buy what they want, regardless of price.
The shift from demanding, discernible, super-consumer to your average, everyday consumer is just going to lock those prices in, simply because of the sheer volume of them versus not-them.
No one is going to stop reading because of this, it just means some people may buy fewer books. The publishers / authors / retailers or whoever it may be still gets the money.
