Stupid is as stupid does!

That is undoubtedly one of the most stupid ideas I've ever heard. You create and use ePubs because they are great at reflowing text. You create images of text and put them in a file if you are totally dumb. With reflowable text in an ePub you have absolutely no need for pinch and zoom because you can simply increase the font size.

If you are going to create crap, then put it in a crappy format--PDF. Otherwise scan, use OCR to pull out the text, and make a true ebook. Or better still, start out with text and convert it to an ePub.
