RISE to create eBook

I am considering using RISE to transform a printed book into an eBook. The RISE course would have 25 Sections and 6-10 lessons within each section. Does anyone have an example of a RISE course of this size, or any experience with the useability of a course with large amounts of content in the left navigation bar? Or performance issues?

I started to build a sample (3 sections and 1-2 lessons) to get a feel for what it might be like, but I am wondering if the final product would become unmanageable for the user. Thanks.

    For my needs Rise navigation out-of-the-box is too basic and limited re: design customization, UX, UI, making for a cumbersome and frustrating user experience, more so if it's a long course. If you have to use Rise you could play with branching, various interactive blocks, javascript... but that route can be laborious and complex. Dedicated ebook creation software?

    Hi Jim, I ran into that issue with the navigation becoming unwieldy. You might be interested in this customization that automatically collapses the inactive sections, and expands the current/active section. 

    One thing you may have noticed with Rise though, out of the box you're stuck with the automatic numbering of lessons/chapters, if you had an intro/forward it would treat that as chapter1.
