I have some of those on my bookshelves and they can be kind of fun to look at, especially at the prices.<br /><br />I'm generally an early-adapter when it comes to tech stuff...that's why I have an eReader from Sony instead of a Kindle. I'm sure I would have bought the new Kindle toy by now, otherwise.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-51273060105396991982009-07-27T21:36:01.622-05:002009-07-27T21:36:01.622-05:00Stefanie, I'm betting that it happens, at leas...Stefanie, I'm betting that it happens, at least in a watered down form of some sort.

But I do feel that the customer should be compensated by lower prices if paid ads are accepted into Kindle e-books.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-54352116553263736612009-07-27T10:11:52.869-05:002009-07-27T10:11:52.869-05:00Real books used to have advertising in them.

They're actually quite cool now: ads for old bicycles and medicines, etc. along with adds for other books.<br /><br />I'm staying away from all Kindles for a few years at least. The dust needs to settle before I buy one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-79335978459899895922009-07-26T13:35:46.741-05:002009-07-26T13:35:46.741-05:00I hadn't heard about this!

I know if they do i will definitely never be an e-book from them if I can help it, and I own Kindle too!Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-30718258617482562802009-07-26T07:10:11.803-05:002009-07-26T07:10:11.803-05:00I'm not an e-book reader, and don't see my...I'm not an e-book reader, and don't see myself ever becoming one, but the idea of ads in the middle of a book is very disturbing. That's not one generally sees in fiction. Even in print magazines that publish fiction, the advertising is fairly minimal, and almost never interferes with the story. Look at a science fiction mag or a literary magazine, stories and advertisements are Alissa Grossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701189791875707920noreply@blogger.com
