In a sense, I think they had to make ebooks "better" than print books. Portability was seriously lacking back then, even in terms of laptops. (Laptops were much larger, somewhat heavier, and incredibly expensive.) So it would have hard to sell an ebook as a straightforward book. Throw in some extra features though, and a few people would nibble. That was particularly true in education markets which were going ga-ga over multimedia back then.
