I don't doubt such approaches can be interesting and involving, but I am old fashioned with my novels and prefer the words and their meanings to be the only tricks, not experiments in typography. I hear Infinite Jest by D.F. Wallace does similar things, a book I do want to read eventually, so who knows whether I'll enjoy that approach or find it aggrieving, merely getting in the way of enjoyable, organic prose.
Also, if that's the case, then it might not be a good book to read on the kindla--all those footnotes are bound to get fucked up by the digital format--which means I'll have to get a bulky physical copy. *gulp*
Read on amazon review that the kindle version is actually half assed and too tiny to read. I mean it's been printed very beautifully and it's semi hard cover but yeah I mostly 'read' Danielewski's recent stuff just for fun/laughs.
Also got a proper book though, Bradbury's Dandelion Wine.
