Agreed Scott.

For some educational purposes interactive books can be great, for others not so much.

But even a math book I can see some possibilities. I.E. for the practice problems have solutions be able to be revealed one step at a time so a student can figure it out if they're stuck at one step and then go back to working it out. Vs having either the whole solution--or worse just the answer and giving up as they can't figure out how to get that answer.

There are a lot of possibilities IMO, if people are open minded rather than just being book worms who feel that reading is the only way to learn etc.

For some things there's not substitute for plain old books--especially literature etc. But in other areas combining media has a ton of potential both for just entertainment and reference purposes, as well as educational purposes.
