Well, I'm confused. The article linked in the op repeatedly refers to Google books, but also it says nothing about ads appearing IN book or while reading, it talks about the "discover" feature, which is a totally separate area of the Play Books app.

I went to check my Google play books app, and the only way I even found the Discover feature was because I left "my library" and went looking for it. No intrusion there. I then skipped to the very end of a book in my library and, after the last page, there is a rate and share page, with one related recommenation ad on it, much like on Kindle.

Maybe the op can post a screen shot of the issue they are seeing?
