Amazon takes one more step toward in-book advertisements for the Kindle

The thing I hate most about the Kindle though, is that when you buy a book on it, you're not really buying a book, you're buying a license. If I go to the store and buy a book, it's mine, I can do what I want with it, including sharing it and reselling it. Not so with a Kindle ebook. DRM is awful.
