Michael Sigman: CDs and Ardi and Vooks, Oh My!

It can be exhilarating to contemplate the digital and evolutionary future. But I don't know if I could bear a world of "vookcases," "vook reports," and God forbid, a New York Review of Vooks.

With the development of the vook, which is basically a book with some video content, we are gathered, once again, around the grave of The Book As We Know It.

I think this will be a wonderful tool for nonfiction books. I noticed an exercise book has a clip showing the correct way to do some of the exercise. Likewise with a cookbook I previewed. What I do not see catching on, at least with us older (over 30) crowd is reading a fiction book. I like to use my imagination and do not think a short clip or film would move the plot along for me.
What I do not like is that you have to choose to either download it on a computer or Ipod. I would like the freedom to do both.
