You're welcome.
I think this sort of thing is the tip of the iceberg. Ebooks provide possibilities that can't be done in print, and there are potentials for very interesting work. ePub is a container, and there's no reason why what it contains must be only text and static images.
The trick is identifying material that can benefit from this sort of work. Some of the experiments out there are poorly thought out, as though people were trying to hang glitz and interactivity on a framework that didn't need it and couldn't use it. It's the equivalent of just dressing someone in a clown suit. Unless they
are a clown and they're in the circus, the effect isn't likely to be what the dresser wants.
It's interesting that this experiment should be fiction. I actually see more potential for non-fiction, with textbooks of various kinds being an obvious example.
