actually i wouldn't mind some "adult" books that had interactive content. imagine reading a "who-dunn-it" mystery and being able to look at the scene of the crime, look around the room, size up the suspects. let you draw your own conclusions before the author finishes the story and see how well your detective skills measure up. or how about an extra "layer" of text you can overlay on the pages of a book that have notes from the author, explaining their development process in the story? video content embedded into a historical novel. an interactive map in a book on a war. possibilities are endless.
no. most adults don't want to see a white rabbit running around their pages. but don't think adult books can't be enhanced by interactive content.
dvd's aren't just movies, they contain lots of extra content, and people buy it all up.
i think books that are just plain text might be given a run for their money by text with more interaction for the reader. the death of the book as we know it. hell, we don't read things on scrolls or clay tablets any more either, do we?
