to dgatwood... i must admit what you wrote is totally over my head but I can say that I took a different route to get to the ePub. We lay the content out in InDesign CS5.5, then export to ePub. This has worked wonderfully every time.

Then we open up the ePub using Stringy, edit whatever individual files need to be edited using TextWrangler or similar software, and save back to Stringy. We have at times needed to reconstitute the ePub instead of saving directly to Stringy, I wonder if that's the issue?

here is how we've reconstituted ePub files in the past:

open TERMINAL
1.) cd ~/desktop/"Folder Name"
2.) zip file.epub -X0D mimetype
3.) zip file.epub -X9rD OEBPS/
4.) zip file.epub -X9rD META-INF/

I'll try that and see if it works... but if you guys or anyone else has any other ideas I'd love to hear them. It sounds like the images are not the issue but the way the ePub is reading...
