Title: "Enhanced Ebooks"
Post by: Madness on September 29, 2016, 01:25:38 pm

iBooks: Game of Thrones Enhanced Edition (http://www.apple.com/newsroom/2016/09/a-game-of-thrones-enhanced-edition-comes-exclusively-to-ibooks.html)

I don't know what I think about this. No real disagreement, just don't know how much I would use it.

You know my love of "playing to the medium." It's an interesting idea, I just wonder when it's no longer reading (which I self-identify as happening in my head).
