If they put ads in the books I buy for my kindle, I'll be selling it after seeing the first one.
I HATE ads in my books. Before the Kindle... you know those cards in the middle of P-Books? I'd rip them out and leave them on the shelf... yes, I know, a mess for the book store staff... so, after that I started filling them out using the company that was advertising as the address...
I am buying an item. I don't want some moron deciding I need to read an ad for a company I won't ever visit/buy from/see, in the middle of my books.
If I have to go back to paper, I will.... at least until I can buy a book without ads in it, ebook-wise.
As for Amazon, Apple, big company badguy FITB here.... get over it, they are ALL the same. None of them are in business to keep "us" happy... they just want their fatassed investors to be happy with them for another year so they can screw out some more money that probably should go to someone else. After all... wasn't it Sony that first locked up CD's that people were paying for... installing virusware without warning on PCs...
There is no difference... a company is in it for the $$, nothing else.
