I can't think of anything I've read that would benefit from video in a similar way, but I wouldn't be surprised if it existed. (Just to note, if this existed I would argue that it should be entirely optional, perhaps with "traditional" versions and "enhanced" versions.)

Now, what I could really see taking off is a smellobook or a tastybook.
Heh. That makes me think of what it would be like if I had a Lord of the Rings eBook with audio of J.R.R.T.'s songs being sung or poems being recited in the right places.
