You've got to be freaking kidding me.

I can tolerate ads in comic books and magazines. But I will not, under ANY circumstances purchase a novel or something similar with any sort of ads in it. Period.

That's like paying for a piece of toilet paper in a bathroom stall. You just don't do it. Or looking up in a public restroom and seeing an ad for Taco Bell plastered on the back door.

Every time I see product placement I get jarred out of the experience.

I'll gladly pay more than $9.99 for a book to have it advertising free. I'll even pay more for DRM free. But I refuse to pay hardcover price for a digital edition that isn't anywhere close to the same keepsake as a true hardcover.
