Agree w/ Andrew H. (and anyone else) seeing the ``App books'' as the 21st century version of luxury ``coffee table'' editions.
In addition to the nifty ``Elements.app'' for the iPad, an older exemplar would be Corbis's fabulous _Leonardo_ CD-ROM which was a multi-media presentation of the Codex Leicester brought out by Corbis.
An interesting examples of a book which might be worth revisiting as such would be Ursula K. LeGuin's _Always Coming Home_ which had a bundled audio cassette of music. Similarly one could see Mercedes Lackey adding in filk music at appropriate points in her Valdemar stories.
