OK, this question probably sounds nuts, but here goes...

Is there a way to embed a PDF file in an EPUB? I have a high-res map that doesn't look good on an iPad or Nook screen (let alone a phone screen), and I'd like to embed the map as a PDF, so the user could then zoom in and find what they need. Maybe something that, once the user clicked on it, opened up in iBooks as a separate PDF. (Of course the dream would be to have something you could zoom in and out IN the EPUB, but I'm assuming that's still a ways off)

Anybody out there work with PDFs in EPUB???
