New ways to screw up a good thing
Here's something that could be very, very bad, depending on how it's applied. It seems that Amazon has applied for a patent relating to serving up ads in their Kindle ebooks (link). Up to this moment, the only downside I saw to ebook readers was their cost... but throwing ads between pages of a book you would otherwise "get in to", that's just wrong.

If this was just a way to add ads to a free magazine download, I would be "OK" with it. Ads between articles. But you know they will abuse the tech.
