After iBooks Author was released, many other eBook authoring tools were released. I have shared several of the tools in my blogs. I discovered a new one this afternoon, Active Textbooks. Active Textbooks is an eBook authoring website. There is a free and "premium" version. The free version is a good place to start.
When you go to the website, http://activetextbook.com, there are a number of click through tutorials. You do have to register to use the site. The authoring tool allows users to upload a PDF document of the eBook. You make the eBook interactive by adding things like animations, quizzes, and links to video, such as YouTube. Since it is a website, it is not dependent upon a certain operating system.
If you are interested in creating open access learning resources, the website is one you may want to explore.
