I'm sure it will go about as well as Spotify's foray into podcasts.
In other words, it'll suck, but it'll save a small number of people enough money that it sticks around for way too long. Audible already has a near-monopoly on audiobooks, so at least there's a vague hope that this could shake up the market a bit when people get fed up with ad creep.
Looking forward to ads in ebooks and paper books soon after. Then we can get ads on toilet paper, ads on toothbrushes, and eventually, less-relevant ad breaks from your relevant ads. Self-perpetuating like Wall Street financing.
