Received a press release about an “amplified” edition of Pillars of the Earth. It will be for the iPad and is now available at the iTunes store for $12.99.
The enhanced edition includes an interactive Character Tree, contextual video and still images blending into the ebook from the corresponding section of the Starz television series, Follett’s Multimedia Diary which contains his on-set impressions of bring the book to the screen, interviews with the actors, director and producers, and music from the series.
You can find a video demo here.
This look like a good use of the iPad platform. This is the type of thing that e-ink is nowhere near ready to handle.
