Probably a dumb question, but I have to ask. Though I haven't tried it yet, I've read that you can use CSS styles to target screens of various widths, just like websites. I think the term is "break points."

Therefore, would it be possible to create an epub that is functionally a fixed layout on bigger devices (e.g. Kindle and iPad) but breaks down into a reflowable epub on smaller devices?

I'm guessing the answer is no, because, if it could be done, it would probably be all the rage - unless it's just really hard to do.
