An assortment of classic children's books have entered the public domain, and Project Gutenberg has HTML versions including illustrations by people like Caldecott, Arthur Rackham, and N. C. Wyeth. They reside happily in my ebook library, but I view them in color. 16 shade grayscale is simply not adequate.
We're starting to see development of a whole new class of "enhanced ebooks", aimed that the Juvenile/YA audience, and intended for platforms like the iPad.
