I wouldn't want any enhancements to be automatic, though. I'd want them to be unobtrusive unless I specifically wanted a particular item. Something along the lines of a clickable footnote, perhaps.
The main enhancement I'd like not only applies at least as much to fiction as to non-fiction but it's also not technically possible, yet. That's smell. But I agree it would have to be controllable-my spouse is allergic to many odors. I'm not so I think a nice smell of flowers when reading about a garden would be great.
