Bookovies: Combing Book And Movie Together?

Cafe Society

Considering more and more people are using Nooks and Kindles and other electronic devices to read books, when will we be seeing the first Bookovies*?

I am envisioning a book with a quiet soundtrack - perhaps a huge SCREAM when you turn the page? Maybe some exterior film footage of the landscape/house fading in and out at the beginning of chapters?

Or perhaps some cartoon panels coming to life?
Lightning and thunder on that dark and stormy night?
A dog barking in the distance?
Footsteps coming down the hallway?
Doorbells ringing?
Police and fire sirens nearing?
A gunshot?
Explosion?

Would certainly be a “new” variation of reading a book alone on a Saturday night!

Is the time for the first Bookovies* coming?

sounds like what some applications for beinning/early readers do. I’m not convinced it encourages reading, but haven’t read any studies.

Mike Nesmith did something like this in 1994 with his book/album The Prison.

There are motion comics out there.
Digital pop-up books probably exist on children’s sites.
But both those things are already mostly visual.

I don’t know about Bookovies. No need to keep the ‘k’
Boovies. But that would be confused with movies that are booed.
How’s about:
Moving Literature
Mooks
Flooks
