The e-book uses page flip animations to navigate the pages, together with text to speech to read the story and JavaScript to ensure that pages can be bookmarked.
If the user does not have Silverlight installed a HTML description is rendered and a brief demonstration video is available to show the user what is available.
Here is my entry. Hope you like it. It was a great learning experience and a fun project. Thank you for coming up with such a great idea! Click on the main circles to navigate your way through the story. You can also use your pointer to reposition the screen and your scroll wheel to zoom in. http://www.nyreendev.com/silverlight/AFable/clientbin/BoyCriedWolf.html
I've made my decision. I liked them all for separate reasons. Denis, I really liked the custom animation. Grant, the integrated audio is a fun feature and Kristopher I really enjoyed the graphic design of your story. Overall I'm impressed you were able to put something together in such a short time and with very little announcement of this contest.
I'm very happy to let you know, all three of your entries have been selected and you're all getting passes to MIX09 :)

Try to find all animations especially one "easter egg" on the last page.
