It seems to me that the project I am currently working on would be perfect for the enhanced ebook format. It’s a series of what I might call illustrated childrens songs. The first work, “Hamsters Want to be Free” is already in production. It will involve audio (the song), print (lyrics), and video of real hamsters interspersed with pictures which will pop into the video as thought balloons or full frame cartoon illustrations. I’m looking for someone to help me get the finished product into the right form for distribution.

I’m late to this comment thread, but thought I’d pipe in. The ipad has been launched since this original article was posted, so we’ve learned that even the skeptics have been awed by the adoption rate of the ipad.

If you have had a chance to get your hands on an ipad, you may well have been surprised by the tactile experience of it. It’s a new way of interacting with digital media. Android will certainly follow, so Apple won’t own this space. What is really the game changer is the form factor. It’s this form that makes the multimedia ebook a more natural way for readers/viewers to interact with information.

How-to and instructional content is ideally suited to this new display device type. And I suspect that the content will flow from existing websites into formats more easily consumed on your lap or at the kitchen counter via a digital tablet. We become unleashed, wirelessly, from our desks.

Multimedia books becomes the logical extension of experiential video blogs like the woodworking “niche” site http://woodtreks.com.

I heard about this enhanced ebook on the radio. The ebook has video and audio files to help the reader quit smoking and not gain extra weight in the process. The ebook includes hypnotic and subliminal audio to enhanced the readers success in quitting. Not a bad idea!

The enhanced version ebook is called… The Tao of Quitting Smoking by Joseph Weaver, RN
