Video in books: I'd be interested in it for nonfiction books. I like to read about history, astronomy, art and architecture, for instance, and video could make such books more useful to me. For instance, if I'm reading about Chicago skyscrapers and they talk about how well a building is integrated into its surroundings, a video feature showing a skyscraper's neighboring buildings would be helpful. That's one simple example.
I can imagine video being used effectively in many ways. The idea is to use tech to improve content, not to throw it in just because you can. Integrating it well is key. Of course, there are plenty of books that don't need video, but there's no need to dismiss advances just because they don't apply for all uses.
