Yes, that's a big plus for ebooks.
I can't remember if I stated this earlier in this thread, but I'm trying to brainstorm ways to, in a sense, recycle content. For example, write an ebook about topic A, then put similar information on a website. The website would be a better platform for big, spectacular images; complex sortable tables; etc. But an ebook would probably have better navigation and no ads.
It largely boils down to the differences and similarities between websites and ebooks (and print books).
For example, I'm working on a book about state symbols, which includes hundreds of state flower, state birds, etc. Most state symbols references include brief information about the natural history of each of these symbols, which is a little redundant. ("The mountain bluebird breeds in the spring...")
I'd like to instead link each state symbol account to a web page where readers can learn all the natural history they want. So the ebook would focus on symbols, while an associated website would offer information on an "ecosymbols" appearance, distribution and life history.
There are endless possibilities for website/ebook collaborations, though they're probably more suited to reference books than novels.
