The question isn't whether technology can improve
entertainment but whether it can improve
reading. Animations, music, sound effects, and other effects (games you can play like the ones the characters are doing? Scratch-n-sniff cards?) can indeed enhance the experience of the story for many people, but that's not the same as improving reading.
Modern makeup, sound and lighting technology and did improve stage plays, but not by turning them into movies.
