Cool, thanks for the links. I've tried a number of interactive book formats. And I've no doubt that the videos and hyperlinks help some people, but I don't think it's for me. While exploring the Egypt book you linked, I kept finding myself trying to come up with counters, but the truth is it's not interesting to me. Even though the subject is interesting, I kept skimming over the text, clicking videos and then scrolling, playing a video and reading. It would probably be better with some training, but for me, dead tree books are not a problem.

I've played with ZappAR before (some lego packs I bought came with some scannable codes), but the idea of comics and picture books makes much more sense than how I've seen it used. This is something I'd like to see played around with a bit more.
