Recent studies show that romance readers are among the tec-savviest of readers.
In fact, and article in the 8/9/07 issue of the New York Times reported
that "the (e-book bestseller) lists are led by romance and women's fiction." Now
for the first time ever in the publishing industry, Avon Books will offer a
cutting-edge e-book original, Lady Amelia's Secret Lover, by bestselling
author Victoria Alexander, as an exclusive e-book with embedded video starring
the author.
Consider it an online DVD extra: As readers make their way through the
downloadable e-book. Alexander will pop up onscreen at various points in the
novel to talk candidly about the plot's turning points and her vivid characters.
This multimedia experience will draw readers into the novel with words and
insights directly from the famed romance author.
The "DNL Reader" technology used to bring alive this interactive e-book was
developed by DNAML Pty Limited. To purchase this e-book, log onto:

Will this book be available in print as well for those unable physically to sit at computer for extended amount of time? Not sure if with this technology of the video pop ups that this can be used on a ebook reader?
