eBook as Interactive Entertainment?
Has anyone considered or explored the possibility of using the new technology as a form of interactive entertainment?

Almost like the return of the old "Choose your Own Adventure" stories, but not as cheesy or juvenile?

Ex: I had been working on a c-RPG in the spirit of the old Super Nintendo Final Fantasy games.

But, as all fan projects go - real life gets in the way. I had been thinking about maybe considering the possibility of using the eBook tech to kind of allow this dead project to live on. I've got over 100 pages of design documents and stories and acts and so forth already written up. I'm just wondering how possible it is to make real.

I've also seen eBooks be compared to DVD's lately. Some books I've purchased have come with writer commentary, deleted scenes, etc. Which is another option I've employed in a project I'm currently working on. But THOSE are easy.

I have a feeling this may require programming, or something similar. Any thoughts?
