His book used to be purchase only (print and e-book) and now you can get it for free with opt-in ads. Granted you can opt out of the ad views, but since I have respect for him, if I I want to buy one of the documentaries outlined in his book then I'll open the PDF and click the link to the film as they are contextual. But I digress, being a webmaster myself and knowing how hard it can be to get conversions makes me do stuff like that and the general public will most likely not care at all. http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/002538.php Martin, one thing you might not have thought about is free versions of paid e-books like Kevin Kelley of Cool Tools’ book True Films(link at the bottom for example).

This way they can force ads upon users. I agree with your thoughts that PDF ads won't last long If I was Adobe, then I wouldn’t let other PDF readers open PDFs with advertisements.
