Then again, I can see the value of publishing a magazine like MAKE or Scientific American with some video or animation to illustrate complex processes or ideas. Some non-fiction books might use this to good advantage, too. (E.g. Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time.)
But I still say, I read fiction, I like reading fiction, I don't want noise and movement in my fiction, and I think I'm not the only one!
Ok, I'll calm down now. I'll just go make a pot of tea, shall I?
