I agree with a lot of what you say, particularly about comic's/graphic novels (I still use the term comic as my uncle, now in his 70's & a collector, them & still uses the term).
I think that ePublishing opens up a host of possibilities, some of which (as you say) may not me good or even work, but until someone tries it we'll never really know.
The point I was highlighting is that some file formats (particularly Kindle's) operate as a barrier to some of those experiments. Your point about convergence of media (film/books/animation) is one that I agree with, so I wouldn't necessarily want a book to have animation or films in, but I'm open to be convinced by someone that it could work.
However, that's not going to happen on Kindle unless they change their file format.
Hope your feet are now still!
Nigel.
