Enhanced ebooks

Hi Group,
I've noticed that Amazon have a few of what they call enhanced content ebooks, which come with audio and video.
What a fantastic concept.
I'd love to try one and have downloaded a taster for The Master of Rampling Gate, but I can't see that it does anything special.

Any advice?

Phil

Sound like a nice idea on the paper, but inconvenient for whose who read while commuting (for books anyway), this seems more target to magazine and periodical publishers.
Even if all tablets are doing it for magazine, they are still measuring the success of this. But it is still nice to see some innovation anyway.

Aren't the "enhanced books" really targeting the iPad?

Uh yeah, so enhanced books on the Kindle is an epic fail. I bought the enhanced version of Decision Points thinking it would at least have a link to a url with the "embedded" video content. Instead it just has some generic line about not being able to play video. Of course I already knew there was no video support but was disappointed none the less.
