I completely agree. When I'm reading a book, I want the device to "disappear" and just leave me with the text. A "multimedia experience" would take me right out of the story.
I can see its benefit for certain types of books (eg a bird identification book could usefully have audio files of birdsong; a travel book could have video of the places featured) but fiction? No thank you.
