For a recent project, the design team has given me a design which incorporates content (in our case some feature books in one section, and some news articles in another) into the Navigation Mega-Menu. I've search around a bit, and I'd like to know if there's a way to do this with the default DDR Mega Menu, or if this sort of thing absolutely requires the purchase of a third party solution. If so, are there any products that integrate well with easyDNNNews? As that's a heavily used module on this new site.

AFAIK you can also load extra XML for the xslt template of DDR.
In that case you load the xml of the articles from for instance Ventrian News and get them into the menu...
When you do the books with the same module you should be able to get this working. :-)
BTW image can also be injected in the menu by using the large page icon.., I use that a lot..
Another solution would be to use the reports module to create xml and merge that.
