Many years ago I did a stint as an ESL teacher in East Asia. I wish I had some of the 'teaching materials' then that I see now. They combine text, audio, video, and interactive elements seamlessly - and the consumer can control the presentation. I went to an exhibition at the V&A last time I was in London, it was fascinating.
I might be satisfied to have Carroll on my lap whilst watching Eisenstein and listening to Billie. But kids this days want all that on one device in a unified frame. And they want to hear Billie sing Jabberwocky, and make the Teutonic Knights fall down Alice's rabbit hole. Currently I suspect you can't do that in EPUB anything - but that's the future.
