I don't disagree. I don't think they've nailed it. If anything they need to go further, much further. But I do like where it is headed. If a mobilereader had video as well this might work better. The whole scene/sequel thing with less interruption (back to the sex scene - most authors write them poorly). Ideally however, this becomes a new from of media-story - not a 'digi-novel' - an internet based narrative that combines all types of media and interactive components.
My two cents.
