Fantastic stuff! Truly novel reading experience.

The biggest challenge for you to build tools around this. Expecting writers to know basic web development is a huge ask. You need a tool like Adobe Indesign [1] or Amazon's Kindle book publishing tools[2]. The second challenge is to go cross platform/device. The biggest challenge here, to reduce the size of the entire artifact book and not just rendering speed/quality.

Doesn't iBooks Author already provide a platform to develop interactive books? https://www.apple.com/ibooks-author/

Yes it does. Missed it. But obviously gets restricted to an Apple only platform.
