Needs more audio integration
Its great that someone has made a comprehensive Thai study book available in iBooks, however the integration of audio and text needs a lot more work. Each chapter seems to only have a few podcasts at the beginning that explain the text, give vocabulary and then review the dialogue for the chapter. However the way it is formatted it is not possible to view the dialogue while listening to it easily (though you can start the podcast then try and flick through the pages to find the written dialogue, which is a little awkward) nor are you able to select words or phrases from the text to listen to / repeat till you feel you have learned them. I'm not sure technically what is possible with ibooks but it would be great to be able to hit words to hear them (as you can do in language learning apps that you can buy in iTunes).
So basically what you get is the text from the book along with the audio from what would normally be on a CD saved as podcasts at the beginning of each chapter. So much more could be achieved, it is a pity the bare minimum was opted for here. You should be able to click on words throughout the chapter to listen to them and review as need be. That would then be a lot closer to what I would consider a multimedia text book to be like.
