once people were"readers" vs "tv watchers." Readers are book-buyers. Multi-media fans are not early adopters of ereaders ("they don't play angry birds", "all you can do is read on them"), and non-"readers"" don't tend to have large libraries of books, ebook or print.

this attempts to create new customers for ebooks by drawing in multi-media types to experiencie "books." the question is: will it create a greater overall group of readers, with 2 types of preferences? If so, future ebooks will come in 2 flavors: a "pure reading" ebook experience and a multi-media experience (and will that impact on the movie based on the plot? ) Alternatively, pure ereading will give way to pure multi-media, or multi-media books won't take off and ebooks will remain the domain of "readers".

Interesting times ahead....
