When all else fails look at the help documentation. Here is what Book Designer says about imp files:

With this option you can create the files for GEB1150/2150, REB1200 and Hiebook devices.
"Make Book Image" method creates the book file consisting of the filtered images of the book pages. The page image filtering uses special algorithms allowing one to make the output file size 30-50 times smaller. As a result despite of the output file size is several times bigger that the input one, it is acceptable for the usage with the device. The output file size depends on the chosen settings and typically it is about 4-5 mb per 1000 pages.
advantages
1. MultiLangual support (all the symbols supported by BookDesigner will be shown on the device screen).
2. Hyphenations.
3. Any fonts of the user choice.
4. Any font combinations in the book.
5. MultiLangual support is provided on the file level (without any changing in the device OS)
disadvantages
1. The output file is rather big (depending on the chosen settings, it can 3-5 or more times bigger than the input one).
2. Bookmarks and links are not supported.

Well there is the answer. It is a bunch of pictures of the pages, and evidently with poor gray scale support.

To keep this from happening do not turn on multi-language support. Then you will get a normal book but there doesn't seem to be much control over it. Still have to explore this some more.
