ActiveTextbook provides a mostly intuitive system to create living and dynamic text experiences. I'm most intrigued by the ability to collectively comment as a class on the text, although this feature seems somewhat limited. That said, this tool has a good variety of annotations and ability to add photo and video that could be very useful in a number of educational settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest letdown was the lack of true comment 'threading' on texts - you can certainly click into a comment and see the replies, but replies do not thread which limits meaningful conversation and tracking of comments that are any longer than a few words. Overall, i'm also somewhat concerned about the cognitive load students will have to manage with so many options on a page - keeping things minimal and aligned to your learning objectives will be a crucial component to using this product well.
