I refuse to watch TV as it's being aired. I utterly detest commercials. Maybe once/year, for some odd reason, I find myself watching a show as it's aired. And am reminded how awful the experience is. It's not only the commercials themselves that I despise. Like theducks, I resent the cumulative time they consume.
I speak of TV programs that are interrupted by commercials. I don't mind PBS programs that have "ads" before and after the shows air.
With that as a guide, e-book ads that appeared at the front and back the book would be tolerable. But in-line advertisements? On the very pages I'm reading? Hell no.
