Yes, but have you sworn off watching all shows or stations that use them? Most people (including myself)
hate them as much as you, but we still watch.

What I used to really hate was when books had adverts in the middle that caused to books to open to them because they were thicker paper then the main pages. Thankfully that's been done away with.

All good points. I agree, grouped in the front or back is best. I wouldn't want to see a banner ad at the bottom (or top) of a chapter (not the end of a page, but literally the last thing you see at the end of a chapter before the next one), but with e-books' similarity to web pages, I can see that as being considered an option.
But if I were a publisher, and an advertiser wanted to do that, I would make sure they paid a premium price for it!
