I have to say that, as interesting as the concept is, it probably works better for novels with frequent activity; in Dracula, sometimes several weeks will go by before a new letter appears, and it's easy to lose the momentum.
It's easy to lose momentum reading Dracula like a normal book because it's just so darn boring.
