I like books as books, but can be a bit contrary, so reacted to all the posts here saying pretty much the same as I thought by thinking of a contrarian view. And to be honest, as Catlady says, I can see his point *in some circumstances*.
A biography of Bruce Springsteen is a good example. I wouldn't think it out of place to have audio snippets available. Extracts from his songs, for example. Further, if interviews are quoted then including audio from them to give context doesn't seem horrific. Video excerpts from mentioned concerts or key events?
In all biographies having extra content such as this available doesn't seem a bad thing. In fact, possibly all non-fiction.
As far as fiction goes, I'll just take the words on the page thankyouverymuch.
(But he was reading Dan Brown, so...)
