What is the best interactive chess book resource?
Sort:
Chessable, of course, as you can interact both with the author and other students. Ok, sometimes you can interact with the author, but you always can ask questions about the positions.
Do they have books or just their own lesson type resources?
Wow, chessable is actually really good. Some really good free lessons as well, luckily. Some of the lessons are quite pricey.

They have also a lot of books for free.
Gambit Publications also has its own app but not as great as Forward Chess. Considering Dr Nunn is a King of Chess Puzzles and they have some really good titles, I am surprised they don't have a Puzzle Mode or Spaced repetition feature on their app.
Luckily Gambit Books seems to have just launched a few titles on Chessable. I Hope someday Gambit brings their books to @forwardchess at some point in future.
Among all the interactive apps/sites, the main competition seems to be Forward Chess vs Chessable.
Forward Chess Web app has an interesting Puzzle training mode.
Puzzle Rush has spoiled us all and raised the standards for everyone.
Chessable seems DAMN good so far. I'm sure the others are as well. 
Trying this free course and it's so well done and convenient etc. Even remembers where you left the video.
If you're patient, chessable often has courses on sale by up to 25%. The sales usually coincide with top level tournaments broadcast on chess24.
We looked into this a couple of years ago. Check this out here:
Ah, that's great. Thanks. Checking it out now.
One relevant aspect is the possibility to learn by spaced repetition. This is possible in Chessable.
I remember seeing the “Find the best move” method in practice with Chess Mentor 3. ChessKing adopted it for materials from Russian publications. Studying CT-Art from the original printed book was quite tedious while using an analysis set, so the digital method was a welcome change.

I've heard of ForwardChess and saw someone mention eplusbooks. Which is best and is there any I am missing? Any input appreciated. Right now I find normal books a bit of a hassle since they go into a lot of obscure lines and to go through them with a chess set just feels so unpractical.
Silman's How To reacess your chess, I am reading this book, its quite advanced but its great! Like its a book anyone above 1700 rapid on chess.com should read to improve positional chess!

I will definitely check that out.
