E-books Fly Beyond Mere Text

Posted at 8:06AM Thursday 29 Jul 2010

E-books of the latest generation are so brand new that publishers can't agree on what to call them.

In the spring Hachette Book Group called its version, by David Baldacci, an "enriched" book. Penguin Group released an "amplified" version of a novel by Ken Follett last week. And on Thursday Simon & Schuster will come out with one of its own, an "enhanced" e-book version of "Nixonland" by Rick Perlstein.
