I've done a few illustrated ebooks that work well in MOBI format. You might check out "The Agony Column" by Earl Derr Biggers and Jerome K Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat" that I have post on this site: http://lp.happythursday.com
That's pretty good. However I'm working with open office to produce a doc file. I did try writer2epub to get an epub to maybe edit it sigil - but writer2epub just throws up a macro error. I don't have the patience for it.

I guess i'm going to make the map more of a simple line drawing...
