Hachette Book Group, said the latest e-book as a book that is enriched or enriched book. Simon & Schuster said enhanced e-book. I do not know which one is true. To be sure, this last e-book is different from the usual.
If the previous e-book forms with basic black and white text, which is nothing but a reflection of the digitalization of the conventional book, so this time they appear in the video in it. Not only that, the e-book also features other multimedia.
E-book made by Simon & Schuster, for example. They released a 896 page book Nixonland thick complete with 27 videos in it. The majority of the video clip that contains the debate between Nixon and Kennedy in 1960 and the public reaction on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.. There is also a taped interview.
In addition, Penguin Group has also launched similar e-books to novels Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth. E-book is equipped with eight video clips from the television series about a similar story. Each video is stuck on a particular page. Readers can then play them back to continue reading.
"This world is very open. We can show the world about the contents of books read by the reader," said Penguin director Molly Barton.
With this multimedia e-book, would not be surprised if the price is also rising. For example, in Apple iBookstore Nixonland price of 15.99 U.S. dollars, and usually cost less than 14.99 U.S. dollars per piece.
