Bookry

I looked in to using the website Bookry (www.bookry.com) which is an online source for creating widgets that can be inserted in interactive book. Bookry lets you creat loads of different free widgets such as, video players, image viewers, social networking links and some small games and puzzles.  

This shows some of the many different widgets that are available to create using Bookry I am planning that in my book I can add some of these widgets to make my iBook interactive. 

I am going to add videos to my book using ether the Vimeo or Youtube widget as these will allow me to imbed videos without the reader having to download each video when downloading the book. this is an advantage as it makes the book quicker to download and will take up less storage. By using a video widget this also has its disadvantages as the reader would have to use an internet connection which might not always be available or as reliable as actually adding the video to the book.

I am also planning on using a web link widget in my book as this will open links within the book rather than opening them in a separate browser app. This stops the reader from leaving the book and would make it easy for them to return to the text they are reading. 

I also think the google map widget and the social networking apps work well as they link to more outside information or resources compared to a word search or drag and match widget that would just add content to the book.
