Now you tell me if that is the brave new world you want. Ads on every second page, embedded videos that can't be stopped, your reading habits tracked, etc.
It would be a very silly advertiser that positioned their ads within a book rather than at the point where the book is downloaded. I would guess that less than 1% of the books that are downloaded ever get read.
