Hi Hitch, thanks so much for the input. The book is a 13 chapter adult humor book, (kid's book for adults sort of thing). Let's just say that it resembles a children's book in terms of illustrations, but it has a lot more text.= than most children's books. The images vary in size. One page might have the image take up the whole screen, another might have it smaller. There is a lot of text.

Right now I am laying out the book in InDesign and working on a version just for iBooks (768 x 1024), which I plan on submitting myself. Then I was going to make another version of the ebook to give for BookBaby, and was wondering what pixel ratio I should use for that.

So you think I should make two versions for Nook and Kobo, and one mobi for Kindle? I suppose that's possible, but I was going to use BookBaby because, frankly, I was overwhelmed at the thought of exactly that. I have no clue how to make a mobi. I do know how to make an epub though, so I suppose I could make two different epubs (plus the one I'm doing now for iBooks).
Hi:

No, no: I meant, a version for Nook, and a version that was for iBooks/Kobo. I was thinking fixed-format, as iBooks/Kobo basically use the same file for fixed-format (very few changes), but it sounds to me like you're not actually making a fixed-format book, but a book that looks like this:

text text text text
text text text text
illustration
text text text text
illustration
and so on.

Is that right? OR, do you have illustrations that have text atop them, please?
