Ads *in* books--bleagh. The first time I see one I'll be on the phone to Amazon Customer Service, returning the book and getting my money back

Ads for similar books at the end of books, of the sort one sometimes sees in science fiction paperbacks ("If you enjoyed this book you may also like Mirror Dance by Lois McMaster Bujold; click here to sample the first chapters")--sure, okay.

But not non-book stuff, and not in the margins, for Pete's sake! No--not even for a discount. Not even in free books. Just...no.
