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.

I agree. For most books, no enhancement is needed,but could be available if the reader chooses. I have to say that I have bought several enhanced e-books of the non-fiction variety. Most publishers think that a lot of illustrations constitutes as an enhanced book. The one I enjoyed best was a book on JFK's White House recordings. It title is Listening In. It that case the enhancements do enrich the story.
