Thanks.
Here is a video of Ray Kurzweil's new product Blio that will be available for *free* download very soon. It's incredible and similar to what you point to. The example of the children's book is an eye-popper!
Plus, Blio will be free software, which never ceases to amaze me.

Several pages about libraries from Geoffrey Hoyle's 1972 book "2010: Living in the Future". :-)

The book looks like a children's or YA book.
