Audio files
I have a question relating to ebook reading devices, as well as formats. There doesn't seem to be a generic subforum under "devices", so I'll ask here.
I know that in an epub I can have links to multimedia content. Specifically, I am thinking of MP3 files. I want to imbed a link, so that as you are reading, you can listen to an audio clip at an appropriate time.
At this point, I don't know if Mobipocket, Lit or other formats support this. I plan on doing some testing, using the Windows versions of the various reader softwares. When I get a chance, I'll throw together a sample ebook or two for testing.
What I can't test (not having the hardware) is whether any of the hardware ebook readers support this functionallity. If you are reading an ebook and select an embedded link to an MP3, what happens? Does the clip play? Is the reading experience totally interrupted by the playing of the audio, or are things integrated smoothly? Other observations are also welcome.
