Illustrated Ebooks
Not comics or graphic novels necessarily, but well illustrated ebooks.
For a novel that sells at $2.99 for example, would a "special edition" that included key illustrations depicting the character, certain scenes, etc. - be outrageously priced at $3.99 or $4.99?
Would it find a market ...?
As an author I find it fascinating to have this new area of opportunity opened up and I am considering exploring it at some point.
Thoughts?

I think it will happen and will have a market. They might even make movie-tie-in editions, which they already make for paperback/hardcover, but now would have illustrations within the book.
I prefer the e-ink, classic feel though. I think it has the technical advantages of modern ereaders while still maintaining the advantages of a regular book such as the focus being the text rather than pictures and such.
But for those who choose color tablets over e-ink readers, there is an obvious market to sell more than just black-and-white piles of text.

The book is this one (sorry I don't know how to make the link- the title is Tania's Quartet) by Kanika G.

I put together a list of available Caldecott eBooks (from Amazon and Kobo) on the website for my business (That's a Hoot Books).There are a lot of missing award years, or only one version of the book available online. I've got other award-winning eBook lists there as well but none of those are illustrated.
Prices commanded for Caldecott books range from $6 to $14, with the average around $10.
