While I think the poll itself is somewhat invalid, it does raise the interesting idea of :
Would an author/publisher offer both an ad powered version of books, as well as the full version?
At the moment I generally just pirate a book I'm considering purchasing, and based on the first few chapters, will buy it should it pass muster (or stop reading; or read on if it's not worth the asking price to me.). However should there be an ad-powered version accessible through the Kindle store (for example), that would mean that I'd save both my time and generally have a better 'try before buy'.
