OK
So writing already requires a lot more than a typewriter, but if you count our word processors as glorified typewriters, then we can go from there.
Epub 3 is coming.
Here is the article I just read, How Publishers Should Prepare for EPUB 3 | Digital Book World.
As someone that is already trying to build their world online, I can tell you that I have ideas on what I will be trying to incorporate--pictures whenever a new creature is first introduced, commission composers/artists for any in-story songs, etc.
Ideally though, I think of these things as adding to the story and only interfering when the reader requests (like they have to click on the link or whatever to see a picture or a small alert shows up at the top of the page saying there is a musical accompaniment for that page, etc. )
How will you incorporate dynamic content and multimedia into your ebooks? Will you? Do you think books should stay innocent of multimedia?
Do you think this is the nail in the coffin for new paper books?
Would you be willing to pay more for a book that incorporated multimedia? Or does it devalue the book for you?
