I could see sound clips as an interesting addition to some e-books. For example, if reading about Eisenhower's D-Day address or JFK's inaugural address, there could be an option to click on a link and hear the actual speeches. Or if reading a biography of a musician, a link to listen to a piece being discussed. Actually, this kind of thing might be fun in audiobooks as well, though I don't know how you'd set them up to make it possible to have the choice to listen to the extras or not. And it would probably be cost-prohibitive to use anything not in the public domain.

I listened to "A History of Classical Music" from Naxos (naturally) a couple of years ago. It had the music intermingled with the narration, and I thought it worked okay. That's a bit of a niche, but it worked in that case.
