I like the idea. I am not a college type person but like to study various fields of interest. Right now I am reading the book 'The Evolution of Sedimentary Rock" and every once in a while come across a statement I'm not sure I understand. Right now that means going to the library or on line and plowing through tons of information to clarify my understanding. If I had an interactive book I could just send out a shout for help. Also, there are those that are snowbound in places such as Oymyakon or living in, say Kishmanja Pakistan or Nickelsville Va. with the nearest town of any size a good 100 kilometers away. For people in such situations a book that interacts with others would be invaluable.
As far as book of the month clubs and such like think of the bedridden, the elderly without transportation, or people at remote radar sites again, for these situations interactive books would be without equal.
