These are long-solved problems. They really don't need a complete rethinking of how information is delivered. They just need publishers to remove thier heads from their ... fundaments and do their jobs properly, rather than trying to either turn back the clock, or find some way to smash square pegs into round holes and call it "value added".
When I see articles like this, I figure it's a perfect lesson in people who don't understand history (even recent history) being doomed to repeating it. It's also what makes patent lawyers rich.

An old HyperCard user?
The thread is about the
LA Times story where they mention little Emma Teitgen's experience with
"The Elements: A Visual Exploration". Some think that such is an
intrusion in to a books story. Others see some
value in it.
I could see it working like a built in dictionary. But it has to be totally unobtrusive.
Almost like this;

So, tell me. When did they come up with this hyperlinks and hypertext stuff?
