Kevin Rose of Digg just posted a video on Youtube, and he has a bunch of ideas for enhancing ebooks. Most of his suggestions are all that revolutionary.
- character bios (could be done now)
- shared annotations (Copia will do this)
- lend an ebook ( like the Nook)
- statistics page – This one could be neat. He proposes a dynamic page that changes as you proceed through the book.
- rich media
- ebook club (Copia, again)
One thing I will say is that I like the UI in the demo. It’s better than most I’ve seen.
Also, did you notice that the ebook is Foundation, and the character bio appears to be from Lord of the Rings? LOL
