Here I am, innocently browsing the publishing news at Dear Author, reading that Amazon possibly plans to insert ads into ebooks. I had to let that sink in a moment. Ads in books…wow.

Honestly, I feel compelled to call Amazon, or stop by their head office, and tell them just how much I hate the idea. For many people, myself included, fiction is a way to forget the real world, escape to somewhere else for a short while. I so do not want ads with my escapism, it’s disruptive. So, Amzaon, can I just say thanks, but hell No Thanks to ads in ebooks?
