What you perceive as fundamental characteristics of the medium are in fact all about the fact that the technology and the market are both so immature as to be fundamentally untenable for wide adoption in their current state.
If eBooks cannot even meet the quality of pBooks, all the gimmicks layered onto them won't make them into a viable and serious medium that enjoys even semi-universal appeal. Once they can meet the quality of pBooks, by all means gimmick away... just in a way that does not degrade them prior to "making them better".
