Ah! The model, the humor, the brilliant intelligence.....Here's my view....
One - it would be in DRM'ed books. That way the publisher thinks the average Joe/Jill can't remove it.
Two - They'll charge $150 - $200 for advertizing per back list book. Why, because that about what it cost to digitize and proof a typical book.
Three - The author with get a hushpuppy of his usual royalty percentage rate of the $150-$200 one time only advertizing fee.
Four - Front list will be all the market can bear. Imagine the advertizing rate you could charge for a Harry Potter e-book....
(But the way, the ads in the paperback books (without authorization) is what led to the infamous Ellison gopher incident.)
