I voted "Yes I'm fine with ads."
It sounds like the proposal would, for a reader with good library access, mean a choice between free-with-ads-right-away and getting in line for a no-ads library copy. My main concern would be the effect on public libraries.
If authors and publishers find that the ad-supported business model works for them, there's no fair way to stop them. But it would be one more challenge to the free library model in an already challenging environment.
In the real world, I think that any free ad-supported books will be ones that got few or bad reviews, so I probably wouldn't read them anyway.
