Since you're asking so condescendingly - no.
It's not as if I could do anything either way anyway. I'm just a user and at most could buy such a device/book.
But I still wonder how it is that you all accept electronic books so easily - while at the same time seem so opposed to anything that isn't a most exact representation of a paper book.
Even the notion of adding an MP3 player - something that sooner or later is likely to be built into the CPU anyway - seems to offend quite a few.
Not sure if it's going through, so I'll probably repeat myself - I wouldn't dream of forcing anyone to use or create such a "enhanced book" or whatever you'd call it. Nor would I condone/approve that.
Where would be the harm in accepting this option to be explored instead of vehemently saying "NO F....... WAY!!!!" whenever it is even mentioned?
So you wouldn't like it. Fine, be yourself, don't use it.
Do you think that all current books would suddenly be converted, the originals destroyed and no new books created anymore? The rise of MP3 didn't kill all written books in favor of spoken books did it? Or did TV and the movies kill all books?
