Before an ad network serves me an ad, my reader app will see how much was paid for this ad, and will pay the sum for the removal of the ad. Of course there would be some settings menu defining the rules and amounts and behavior of this. And if i'm not willing to pay, i will be showed an ad.

You bid for your own ad space on pages, and pick your placeholder.
