+1

If not SVG then a regular image may work. Either way that may cause the text in the image to be too small to easily read. Some, but not all, readers/apps have the ability to "zoom" into an image...you probably shouldn't depend on that for a commercial epub.
I'd mention these difficulties to the author and let them decide how important that particular orientation is to them.
