Thanks for your input Dale and Marcus. I loaded up your epub in iBooks and it displays pretty much as normal. I then added the other images to your epub and got some more strange behaviours. The page jumped from the right to the left. This lead me to examine the other pics. They were 2500 and 3800 pixels. I chopped them down to 500 and now I don't get that result in your ePub.

I've repacked the whole book and I get the same good results.

So that means having very large images and CSS

img {margin: 1em 0 0 0 !important;
max-width:98%;
max-height:98%;
}

results in unpredictable behaviour in iBooks

What do think about that Marcus? Don't you make your books this way too?
