Same.
I think interactive features might have their place in educational and other non-fiction books - maybe a couple of video clips in a biography or history book, that kind of thing.
For fiction/novels, NO. I don't need someone telling me what sounds or landscapes to imagine when I'm immersed in a fictional world. At the most, if it's a novel taking place in a real location, some links in the end or in footnotes to a website with that extra material - links or footnotes that can be easily ignored if one prefers and that will still allow the book to be read on dedicated eInk readers, not needing a tablet or computer, which "interactive material" invariably will require.
Anything else, anything that will make it hard to impossible to read the book on an eInk reader or that is distracting or difficult to ignore ... no.
If I want a TV show instead of a book, I'll watch a TV show.
