I say buy a great pop-up book for a child (or adult) that enjoys additional stimulation with books, and stick to straight reading for e-books. |

I suspect you're right. It's impressive, but I'm not sure I'd spend much time actually playing with it. If I wanted to read Alice in Wonderland I'd certainly not buy it - I'd just get irritated at the flashy stuff getting in the way.

Absolutely not. I want my reading application to have a consistent interface and organize multiple titles, library-like. There is no reason a regular e-book can't have notes and hyper-links to expand its content without "being" an app unto itself.

Nope, a book is a book, not an app. But then, I won't ever buy any eBooks via iBooks since it's Apple's fault we have the Agency 5.
