So: I like to end a book with an advert of my own, for a related book of mine. I am afraid that Jeff Bezos over-rides this section. Do we have any notion of how he is able to interrupt the flow of the book? Is it done through keywords like Notes, Sources, Bibliography, Epilogue, so that if we avoid those triggers the book will continue with breaking for a word from the sponsor?
Thanks for any illumination!
