An advance in electronic publishing could make the e-book you are reading seem as dated as a silent film.Publishers hope to explore the growing success of e-books by releasing versions with added soundtracks（电影配音）and musical accompaniments.
The noises in the first multimedia books - released in Britain on Friday - include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale.When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part,background scores will create tension.
Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for e-books and will add excitement for younger readers.Critics,however,will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.
Caroline Michel,chief executive of the literary agency,said the new generation of computer- literate readers was used to multiple sensory input.She said, "Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time.If that's what the market wants then we should respond to the market."
Book track's sound effects work by estimating the user's reading speed.Each time you turn a page,the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly.If the soundtrack becomes out of synch （同步），a click on any word will reset it.
Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure,of reading.David Nicholls,author of Our Day,the bestseller now released as a film,said, "This sounds like the opposite of reading.I have enough trouble reading an e-book because I'm constantly distracted by emails."
Stuart Mat Bride,the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an e-book bestseller,sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads.He said,"If I'm reading,I will do the noise in my head.I don't need someone to tell me what tea cups clinking sounds like.That would irritate（激怒）me."
