This.
Do I want an enhanced version of "Pride and Prejudice" with clips from various film versions? I most certainly do not. Nor do I want sound effects or animated graphics in novels.
But in non-fiction? I can see that there could be many useful and welcome enhancements to ebooks in terms of extra audio, video and animation features.
As a very basic sample, a diagram of a four-stroke engine that could be zoomed, rotated and would loop through the engine cycle, would be a vast improvement on a set of static diagrams of the engine in various stages of the engine cycle.
In short:
Fiction: No
Non-fiction: Yes
