If I set my font size small enough I can probaly get the trigger points to happen way before they should and the sounds would actually be a spoiler to the reading.

I'm filing this under: useless.

I also think this one falls apart when we realize that an eBook (flowing text) is really no different than a webpage and background music has been an integral part of personal vanity pages since the mid 90s.
