Tables do not reflow. If you think about it a little, that is natural. A table is not a semantic structure, its is basicallya set of instructions saying put this object here, this object to its right and this object below it. That kind of instructionset is hard to reflow.
If you are interested in reflowable design, you should look for CSS based replacements for tables. There are plenty of articles/blog posts about it. Most of them are focussed on web design, but the techniques apply equally well to ePUB.
