I don't think ads at the end (or even the beginning) of an e-book would be that big a deal. It'd be easy just to skip over them or ignore them at the end.
What I think would be trouble is if [the ubiquitous] they put the ad inside the actual book - be it within the first few pages, the middle or wherever. I'd find that horribly distracting and would be bothered enough to make sure everyone I could tell knew about the e-book's failure.
I don't really think an e-book could sell enough if an ad was in the middle of the book - and people knew about it. It'd be the equivalent of putting an ad in the middle of your favorite movie. I believe that just wouldn't be profitable.
