You'll need some serious photoshopping skills. Plus, you will have to track down the fonts or use fonts that look similar. It's a very time consuming, colossal work. But the end result, if done right, is a always pleasure to read.
I imagine an RPG manual written for a fixed layout would have tons of references to page numbers ("see page X"). How are you planning on dealing with those?

This is not so. I download newspapers and magazines every day and read them on an eBook reader. It handles mixed text and graphics with no difficulty. I also create my own high graphic content eBooks. I convert a file output from InDesign into an ePub or Mobi file. It is quick and easy to do.
