Hi,
I've tried multiple times to pick up chess books but have never been able to get through them because I am not able to follow the notation in my head very well and reading along with a chess board or app open is cumbersome. I was wondering if anyone has put chess books online (not necessarily for free) where they embed the games into the book (like they do for chess.com articles) so you can follow along without having to keep switching to a chess board.
My best recommendation is chessable.com. They have free books on every subject matter to let you experience their trademark MoveTrainer technology. As for the selection, they have chess books that have been converted to their MoveTrainer format, and they have an army of chess masters churning out materials every month.
There's also ChessKing.com which I think was the first to use the interactive chess book on PCs then online.
I started a forum post about it here if you would care to read it and the contributions of fellow chess.com members:

Try using a real board & pieces while following the e-book . . .
But i suggest to get real book using the real board & pieces . . .
Check it out...(as chessroboto reccommended earlier).....
online chess books/courses.....(many are free)...
I give chessable.com it’s third vote for all the reasons shared above. It’s light on beginner material, but there is enough to get started. There are some classic titles and the technology is easy to use.
Check out Forward Chess (www.forwardchess.com)
They specialize in chess ebooks, combining the book and the board. They seem to have the largest catalog by far, with hundreds of latest titles from multiple publishers.
How about something on chessable? They have both free and paid stuff. From free I really would recommend the Magnus stuff like https://www.chessable.com/the-magnus-touch-free-strategy-lesson/course/40115 from the paid I personally enjoyed the this books https://www.chessable.com/sharp-middle-games-a-practical-guide-to-chess-calculation/course/17599/ about the calculations
