This discussion reminds me of the Kindle in Motion e-books that Amazon has put out. These are regular books, but with animated graphics throughout. To me they are are a failure in that they look nice to flip though, but are very hard to actually read because all of the animation going on is distracting.

When I read a book I want something book-like, not app-like.

ETA: Personally, I hope that the W3C/IETF focuses on improving e-book layout, especially in adapting the same content for readability on a variety of screen sizes and technologies.
