One can scan the pbook, convert scanned pages to PNG images, add a perfectly standard xhtml wrapper around each and every scanned page, and produce an ePub that completely goes against anything that we expect of the "inherently" re-flowable format. Except for the file size, one could not tell the difference until it is tried on a reader with the smaller screen. It might show just fine on iPod or iRex.
