Best tool to make digital interactive ebooks
Hi,
I am using storyline to create courses based on some textbooks. The goal is to give students the chance to study the whole course books online (studying the lessons and doing the exercises).
I have started designing the courses using storyline, but it seems that it's going to be a very big project and it also takes a lot of time.
Actullay I need to change some textbooks with all their exercises to interactive digital books.
I was wondering if there are any other tools similar to storyline, to help me create the courses faster and that the output file is not big and can be easily embedded in a website.
Hi Sara,
I'm going to echo what Piyusha said and suggest that you check out Rise 360. It won't have a flipbook look, but it's super quick and easy to use and will ensure your courses work on any device. Here's an article with some examples to give you an idea of what that could look like: 7 Documents You Can Replace with Rise 360 Courses.
You can try it out for 60 days for free to see if it'll do the trick.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Although its not the same flow as working in tools as Rise or Storyline, donot underestimate the power of Indesign. Especially when you have your copy ready... the plugin IN5 can create ebooks, digital magazines, flipbooks and more HTML5 compliant products with ease.
Have you explored Rise as an option?
I am also looking for an interactive pdf that looks/behaves like an ebook, without the need to program in Indesign. Rise will not work for me since my needs are very simplistic. In an ideal world a nice template in MS Word would suffice except that I will need 15 or so tabs. Thank you for starting the thread!
Hello,
Have you tried to do a search on 'interactive flipbooks'? There are a number of options online that seem to be a good fit for what you are looking for. A quick search will get you some good options.

I'll add my support for Rise.
As a StoryLine "super fan" I didn't fully grasp the value of Rise until I set my pride aside and tried it out. Now, I'm in love with it. More importantly, my learners love it too.
Question is too much old but I think some tools are missing here. Well, there are lots of tools that you can use to make digital interactive ebooks some of them which are most popular are Adobe InDesign and PubCoder.
Thanks
