Pretending multimedia is an ebook simply confuses people and won't meet most distribution channels for ebooks.s, real time 3D and other features that could be used to author real games? |
You seem to be under the faulty impression that it has to one or the other (ebook or multimedia). Ebooks that contain multimedia don't stop being ebooks merely because of those inclusions. Your luddite approach to preserving an archaic definition of ebook amuses me. Had the door to door encyclopedia salesman been able to sell my family hardback Childcraft books that had embedded audio/video in their pages, he would have done so (and I and my siblings would have been enthralled with them). We still, however, would have called them books--with no confusion. The terms "book" or "ebook" need no protection. They will evolve (as all constructs do) over time. Fighting paradigm change is pointless.
