I think this is an absolutely fantastic idea! A nice corollary might be to issue ebook text on movie DVDs for movies based on text -- Peter Jackson, are you here, do it for the complete set. |

I'd suggest some techno upgrades (mp3 player or sound chip built into the book), Leap Frog type passages (click on the Passage and a famous actor reads it), etc.+ |

I own something like this - McSweeney's tried it once. They Might Be Giants recorded a piece for each story, and tried to match the length to the story. They recommended pressing the repeat button on your CD player, in case they were off a bit. |

It's actually quite a strange experience that I recommend trying at least once. |
