Books and Gaming (Idea)

I just had an idea, might not be new but whatever, what if you were playing a game, let's say skyrim, and you just started a quest. The quest was a simple go to cave kill goblin king deal, it is also a quest related to the main story. So you are just about to start it and you have to leave, I don't know pick up a package, so you grab your phone and tablet and head over to UPS, only to be told you have to wait 10 minutes for processing. So of corse you whip out your tablet and start that quest you left off at home in skyrim.

What I mean is what if reading on the tablet aided your questline in skyrim. You open up this book, and suddenly your skyrim character's stats are loaded up, and you begin one of those old fashioned "Choose Your Adventure" things. Where each choice has a certain number of choices connected to it and so on. Okay weird senario but it would promote kids to read.

How about you found a book on a cave floor, and reading it (I mean actually reading it not just scrolling through it) told you where special weapons were? So your game doesn't have to wait at home, nor do you have to buy a super fancy device to get special items. Each code for the app would be given with the game.

Okay so now the package you wanted is finally ready, you head home, happy to have killed that Goblin King, so now you just hook up your tablet with the consol or PC, and sync it up, or have a cloud set up for it where you can update online even if you are away from the consol.

I might be thinking outside the box, or even with my head in someone else's box so please give me your thoughts.

Could this help illiterate children?
Or Would this just be another waste of money?
