When I download books to my iPad, for the most part, I've come to expect more. I've come to expect an experience akin to what the iPad is capable of providing. I respect the digital translation of pure text books on a digital device, but have seen a shift in my desire to simultaneously experience associated multi-media. To me, it provides a greater sensory and learning environment. David Roberts' Egypt provides that sensory experience with the inclusion of interactive images, audio, and even the WebNotes page at the end of the book. Full disclosure: I work for Sideways, but was not involved in the production of this book in any way.

I haven't seen an electronic book that was stylized like this before. Very impressive! The images were beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The images interspersed throughout the text are gorgeous. The ability to zoom in and see more details is a great touch along with the audio commentary.

This book is beautiful! The audio is stunning with wonderful images and descriptive text. It makes me want to plan my own trip to Egypt.
