Glitter isn't all bad. How many more kids have looked at the Periodic Table since that iPad app came out. That's not really a book... but it takes a boring reference table or a small pamphlet and give it the full glow and rotate. Literally. The elements spin and turn and sparkle. There's bits of video. There's text about some of the elements, songs.
While I don't want when I'm trying to read my latest alt-hist book (some pop-up of where it tweaks history might be fun)... but I don't want to be taken out of the reading experience.
However, it makes basic science a lot more interesting.
OK, I was a geek about the periodic table when it was flat paper... but I think there's a place for it... though plain e-readers aren't ready for it.
