World, Writing, Wealth discussion

Small and not-so-small kids usually love illustrations. The smaller the kid, the more pic-s and less text you see in the books.
Many kids today are hooked on electronic devices. I imagine technologically ebooks can contain motion pic-s, pretty much like you see when scrolling Facebook.
Do you think an eformat, containing a written text and motion illustrations (think like book trailers within the book) may modernize the lit and bring it into the kids' (and adults') gadgets?

Hmm, I would not be surprised to see it! :)

That was my reaction, M.L., but I think something essential would be lost. As a child and as an adult, the words have played out on the screen of my imagination.

Do you expect a further alloy of written and visual?

Putting out graphic novels with still pictures, I can tell you file sizes are a little insane. Top of my head, my largest project is around 50 megabytes. Amazon's delivery charge eats up the royalties if I were to take the 70% rate...and Smashwords' terms say they won't even take anything over 10MB. If you were to do video, you would look at some rather large ebooks.

On the other hand, if you were so inclined, you could just make a video and add words, then upload it to YouTube.

Any news on the front of moving illustrations? As far as I'm aware video accompaniment even enters electricity bills
