Images are the way to go in this situation. You can rotate them 90 degrees and they will be useable on any viewer and also not explode in size when the text size is increased. The user simply turns the viewer.
But a 6" e-ink reader is hardly the ideal device to view tabular data, let alone a smartphone screen. In another thread we were discussing trying to put 25 lbs of text in a 5 lb viewing bucket and there just is no way to do it. Seems like there's a saying about not being big enough for one's hat...that's about the size of this.
If you are working on something for tablet computers this is less of an issue and you can simply use a pdf rather than epub to keep the tablet lined up and constrained.
A lot of tables don't have to be a large as the ambitious author made them, so you could break them into two. But if you are trying to preserve someone else's formatting you have my sympathy.
