You seem to be assuming that the only books people read are fiction. Hardly true, and not especially relevant.
The key, as always, is the content. Electronic format makes possible things not doable in print. What sorts of things are appropriate for the content? How might the book be enhanced? What value will be added by doing so?
I expect to see a lot of "enhanced" ebooks that never should have been, and a smaller number that will make people go "Of course! It's a natural!".
