They will need to work more like browsers where video is streamed and not stored.

Dedicated devices as they are do their best to mimic the paper technology experience--which shackles the technology as a whole. Ebooks are more powerful than paper. If and only if they act like browsers.
I think textbooks and kids books will have this (like Apple Author for ibooks) but regular paperback type books, nope.
