Quote:
Interdocument Linking - Imagine you're reading a textbook, and there's a footnote. You click on the footnote, and a screen opens, inviting you to purchase the book that's footnoted. Maybe it even provides you with a sample of the book. You buy it. The next time you click on the footnote, it jumps to exactly that page in the textbook you've just bought.
This is not possible with today's technology.

Not only is this an absolutely fabulous idea, but textbooks begin to bridge the gap between published books and academic journal articles. Since those academic journal articles can be purchased individually and their citations are incredibly important to academic research, e-publishing in academia becomes revolutionized!
