Adobe Indesign's Export to Fixed Layout Epub
The latest version of this software available through Adobe Creative Cloud includes a feature to export to fixed layout EPUB.

I was wondering if people had tried this and what their opinion is.

At a superficial first glance, I was very impressed, but upon opening up the resultant EPUB, the code looked pretty horrendous, with span tags for each and every word - to give them absolute positioning. The result looked fine when viewed on iBooks - live text positioned around and over graphics, exactly as you would want, but I would think it would be almost impossible to edit or update the resultant xhtml files. This software makes it possible to produce a fixed layout EPUB almost effortlessly but I wonder how stable the result would be?
