I discovered Hype this morning as I was investigating iAuthor to create iBooks. It costs about $50.00.  It creates HTML5 files to insert into your books to make them interactive.  This is a very basic project.  I added images and animated only a little.  I added a video.  I added sound.  I had trouble using the built-in dictation feature so used insert video to add mp3 files I created on Audacity and that seemed to work.  There are many features surrounding the images that I didn’t bother with and I certainly didn’t explore the animation options much.

I can see using this often to create exciting iBooks for my students or even having them create their own iBooks using my Macbook Pro.

Here is the link.  I hope it works for you.  You don’t have to be a dropbox user to see it.
