Hi, I wanted to join in on this thread even though it's a couple of months ago..
I've been looking for pretty much the same information, meaning how do I create an eBook from a set of already designed pages that include full-spread illustrations with the text pasted on top of them. I tried exporting to epub format via InDesign but the pages did not appear correctly on the iBook.

I thought I'd try to export to PDF and convert the PDF in Calibre into epub, maybe that would lock the book's design in place.

Or is the method described in your thread, i.e. name the files sequentially, zip them together and then bring into Calibre still the best way to create a book like this and still be able to sell it on the iBookstore?
