I now use the scriv doc to epub conversion as my start point for finishing off the epub in Sigil which is quite a quick workflow that works fairly well for me.
I will take look at Scrivener, the interactive tutorial compiled quite well, it managed to keep images on a single page. With no obvious problems. Still not beautiful.

Maybe epub is a conspiracy designed to keep books in print
It would explain a lot. Maybe something like bootstrap is needed. If it's relatively easy to code a website that will work on a phone or a 5k monitor why is it so hard in epub ... I know it would break a lot of eink readers but mostly its computers tablets and phones which can run anything.

I looked at this, the example from IBM which breaks really badly

and I also found korean Sigil clone on view porter .com (i'm not linking to them)

maybe it's easier to port a web page ... been a tiring week, things really haven't got any easier.
