Videos
Images
Interactive elements (e.g., quizzes, polls, games)
Audio clips
3D models

These multimedia elements can be used to illustrate concepts, provide additional context, or simply make the reading experience more engaging. For example, a history e-book might include videos of historical events, while a science e-book could include interactive simulations.

Enhanced e-books offer a number of benefits over traditional e-books, including:

Increased engagement: Multimedia elements can help to keep readers engaged and focused on the content.
