Call me old-fashioned, but this looks like they are trying to fool non-readers into believing they like to read.
When I read a novel, I don't need pictures to show me what I'm reading about (or, give me a graphic novel, and make the picture an integral part of the medium - that's perfectly fine as well; but "adapting" a novel to a graphic format isn't just about drawing the characters and action). And I certainly don't want moving pictures to distract me from my reading.
