Even as hyperbole it's too extreme.

Really? I find phone book reading to be a very primitive experience without researching SOTA book apps. Is there an app that turns ebooks into a single infinite scroll longform article with intuitive bookmarking and easy book purchase/discovery?
This plus a text-to-speech/audiobook feature with autoscrolling would probably do a lot for book consumption (I mean I, for one, would sign up for that waitlist)
Okay, but listening to a book is not the same as reading a book.
Oh, to clarify I was not putting forward the idea of "the audiobook", but rather, having the book read to you as you're reading it (with your own eyes), just because I've heard multiple people mention how it helps them keep their focus on the page.

It's just an experiment in additional stimulation basically.

We have all these features and more. In private beta now, sign up for the waiting list at: https://noveltree.ca
