As long as those adds do not break the flow (pee break) of reading, the eye becomes trained to skip them altogether. Most of the ebooks I read are formated as an HTML where you can skip to a TOC and then directly to an actual chapter. Which can all be done without ever seing an add.
A DVD command locked type of advertizing is obnoxious to say the least and I would be firmly opposed to any such concept in a 'one story' ebook.

Not quite the same thing to use MR as an example, because the ads were either at the top of the screen, or the bottom - never (to my recollection) within the threads....
