At present, all fixed layouts are not actually ePub because they are not standard. Each implementation has it's own formatting. iBooks is not the same as Amazon's KF8 which is not the same as B&N's. So you would have to code to each variety and it would be specific to a specific device/app.

If you don't have to do fixed layout, you'd be better off not doing so.
