Abstract
Disclosed are a method, a device, a system, and/or manufacture of electronic book enhancement. In one embodiment, a device includes a housing, a book coupler to secure a book to the housing, a page detection sensor generating a page signal usable to determine an open page of the book, a computer processor, a computer readable memory, and an audio output device. The computer readable memory stores an audio dataset including one or more page UIDs, one or more associated audio files, and an audio routine that includes computer readable instructions that when executed receive the page signal from the page detection sensor, determine a page UID for the open page, query the audio dataset for the audio file associated with the page UID, and generate an audio signal of the audio file on the audio output device to enhance a reading experience of the book based on the open page.
