I personally don't think we'll see this happen - even Sony couldn't be that despicable, surely? Although if you were to lay odds on any company trying such a thing, Sony would have to be high on the list. If they do start, it's just another good reason to not buy a Sony (as if any more were needed).

I hate ads in anything. I even have a HTPC setup so that I don't have to watch any commercials, there is software to automatically skip commercials.
If ads were introduced to my electronic reading experience I would be looking for alternatives. |

Ads are one reason why I stopped watching any television years ago. I don't mind ads in my newspaper or my magazines. I've grown accustomed to them and do not find them troublesome there. I would find them troublesome in books, although I would rather see an ad that is clearly an ad than the subtle advertising of product placement.
