Where's the " Don't want 'em at any price, the only place for such a publication is split up, on a hook in my lavatory in case the "tissue" runs out..."

Don't bear thinking about...

So I won't....

I didn't mind the first incarnation of WOWIO, where the ads were like a bookplate. I was more annoyed by the fact that they thoughts PDFs were books than a single page saying "This book is a gift to {my full name} from Verizon" stuck in front of the table of contents. But I wouldn't want more than that. Paging through 20 of those to get to the TOC would put me off. So would anything popping up between chapters and breaking my book trance.
