Edward, Since the Read Activity uses WebKit for reading EPUBs it seems likely that you could make an EPUB with JavaScript in it and make a sort of electronic pop-up book out of it. It might not be a strictly kosher EPUB, but Read probably wouldn't care.
Maybe this could be something else to look at. You could make a packaging utility that takes an HTML file and any subdirectories beneath it and packages it as either a Sugar Activity or an EPUB. The utility could be written in Python and PyGTK so you could run it on any OS, and maybe it could run as a Sugar Activity as well.
