Well, whether for good or bad, what I'm doing only works in iBooks (although it works beautifully in that!) -- so I don't have much choice in that matter. But that's okay with me, I'm doing this more for the sake of "art" than "profits".

Tables are a pain in epubs generally since they can be blown up by someone increasing the text size.

If someone does this, it may make your two pages into six or so. It is possible to lose track of what is being referred to.
Oh, I understand, and fully agree -- I don't think it should really be an issue for my table, though, as it's basically just three columns, with one word in each column. A person would have to REALLY blow up the text for it to become an issue, and even then it should still work okay in portrait orientation (as opposed to two-page landscape).

It would be a favor to your reader if you intend to share it at all to break it up into more or less page size hunks, perhaps at the end of the chapter or book so the text flow is not broken trying to skip over the pages the table occupies.
Yup, that's exactly where I'm putting my table -- at the end!
