I was under the impression that on something like an iPad you could actually have short videos and perhaps links to videos?
Ken, I agree and was thinking the ipad. I know that you can download the nook and that would allow the ebook to be read off the computer. As president of Operation Photo Rescue with over 2,000 volunteers in all 50 states and 49 countries; I keep thinking the ebook has a lot of potential, but then I get hug up thinking it couldn't be presented in the same way that a POD book could. The book has its charm, but in full color would make it expensive unless the page count was around 100-150.

There are also a number of 10" color tablets running under the Honeycomb
version of Android. (The automatic "iPad" reference annoys me even more
than the automatic "Kindle" reference, for eReaders) [Don't worry about my
pet peeves, such annoyances form a part of the evidence that I am still
alive.]
There are a couple of new color reflective (non-backlit) ereading technologies
that are just coming to market, including eInk's "Trition" display and the
"Mirasol" display. Between the large LCD tablets and new low power color
technologies, projects such as yours may become more practical over time.
Just a suggestion though, you may find that your effort may gain a wider
audience and/or be more practically distributed as an .HTML ebook, that can
be viewed in the browsers of the tablets as well as on computer screens.
That well also provide for good color rendition and the potential use of
hyperlinks.
Luck;
Ken
