I recently took a CS101 class that used ZyBooks for the textbook and absolutely hated it for this very reason [1].
The "reading" was basically a bunch of mandatory checkbox exercises that turn into a slog through a bunch of slow-loading prompts that were just "Click Next" to receive confirmation that I had read the info in the prompts.

Absolutely miserable experience all around.
