Nixonland, an "enhanced" E-book experience.

The title link above (links to a New York Times article) mentions one of the new books in the “enhanced” version…a tome called “Nixonland” that’s just been published. The basic e-book (available from places like Amazon) is $13.95. The “enhanced” version, available through the I-book store at Apple, is a few dollars more. I downloaded a free sample to try it out…the sample was over 367 pages out of a total book length of 850+. Anyway, embedded in the book there are 27 very high quality video clips…..so if you’re reading for an example about the time of the King assination you can clip on the corresponding video….plays in it’s own window on the page, or you can elect full screen…..at the end of the video or at any time you can resume reading. The idea is to merge the experience into the reading to bring it to life….and from what I’ve seen it’s wonderful. History books, with their charts, maps and photo’s, have long been the bane of e-books. Now, it’s exactly the opposite with the new enhanced model in that these things can be integrated into the book. Quite wonderful!!
