Well I'm hoping that many books become 1st class Activity citizens (i.e. regular Activities based on a html/pdf/gnash et al Activity wrapper). This gives us the opportunity to make them more interactive/ collaborative than a simple static document, and simplify Sugar and the Sugar UI; so I hope to be downloading books with perhaps shared annotations, animated pictures, some interactive puzzle/game elements, and some non-linear story telling from the Library soon :-) [FWIW: I have a pdf based non-linear maths game/quiz/story on the go, plays a little like a point and click graphic adventure]. Of course we'll have static documents as well, I think most of which will be found outside of the Sugar Labs project, on random web sites, moodle servers, etc, and get down loaded to the Journal for off-line reading, or just read directly in Browse while surfing.
