What is a book? I suppose we do need to answer that question before we answer any questions concerning what is inside of a book.
But you are saying that there is no book? That everyone could have their own definition for a book?
I would say that a book is a connection between minds, but the book has in the past been a low bandwidth means of communication, to use a techy term.
Here is another question, do you think these sorts of things should be coded into the epub protocol? to be reader agnostic, or do you think these sorts of things should be left up to Apple and Amazon? Creating a walled garden of interactive ebook readers so to speak?
