H5P has introduced a new content type that sounds very exciting — the interactive book. I feel about H5P much the same as I do about Mexican food. I love it. I also recognize that each new dish (content type) is made of the same old parts, cleverly put together in a new way.

The H5P interactive book format is similar in style to other online book formats, such as GitBook. The web page has a left-hand column listing the pages, the table of contents, of the book. The right hand side then displays the currently selected page, with all the familiar H5P content-type interactive goodness.

I am not sure I could use it for a 300-page typeset textbook, as I am able to do with Pressbooks, but I think it opens up a very interesting mix of longer-form text and interactivity for educational purposes.
