The presentation is definately nice. Lore books give those who want to know more about the world the chance to do so. I often don't, so I'm glad its optional.

I think that having lore books/scrolls/emails is always good idea for game as you can tell stories through this, and it helps to better draw atmosphere of game. It was in MM6-8 and both System Shocks too.
I found first few books in EA readable, though not very capturing. But they´ve served purpose.

Interestingly, the idea of having books (or other kind of media) inside a game with the point of view of characters inside the game world is an interesting and exclusive gaming tool.

The books littering the Elder Scrolls series always did wonders for the immersion in those games. I always try to head most of them, but I get reserved when I see a book with too many pages. Since M&M is standardizing the books within a word limit, I think I'll read them all.

Together with other elements of the game (monsters, Crag Hack..) these books will drive the cumulative expansion of the whole MM world, together with Heroes (mostly VI, but there is always the whole sequel bonus).
I surely liked it before (HOMM III, MM VI). And as Heroes VI is also full of stories, inner knowledge, myths of dragons, demons.. getting same and maybe additional knowledge from MM X will be only for the best.

Waited for an opportunity to write this: Compared to other titles (even AAA ones) your German translation is superb, tx dudes.

No wonder, when most members of dev team are from Germany (that is if I remember articles correctly)

What about having the book initially appearing closed, with the title appearing on its cover, with unique artwork, and styling?

I like the idea od including art in the lore books. I don't think I've really seen that done before.

Well illustrated lore books are not exactly new (lore books found in Myst or Castlevania Lords of Shadow come to mind) but I'm glad you like them :)

Do we get only general/world lore which can be found on Ubisoft's sites, in HoMM6 or in Ashan Compednium (Myth of Creation or Ghouls description for example) or we get more then that: like what has happened in Hammerfell during aborted Riders game?

Besides new lore in books about Nyga Peninsula of course.
