Just because something works on some platforms doesn't make a really bad idea good. Multimedia is video, sound and text. Interaction is optional. That's easily done in an App that runs on everything without a compatible host app. Except eink or other dedicated ereaders, which won't do video anyway in an ebook. There is a Binatone LCD ereader that separately can do plain videos. Not Multimedia. Another Binatone device with a QWERTY keyboard is actually an early Android tablet. Some Android apps can be loaded via USB (sideload), mostly older ones. It can't do video IN an ebook, only standalone videos and apps.

Just because it's possible to create a kind of epub with video doesn't mean you should. No-one should, ever. Get a simple App framework.
