But this is a book better as a PDF for a tablet (much as I hate PDFs), because the images and layout is important. You can't upload PDF to Smashwords, they make it from a .doc file (not .docx).

Google books to Playstore does accept PDF directly.

It will work best on paper, using POD from Lulu or similar.

This isn't at all suitable for an ereader.
You can't print it, Quoth. Not with POD, which uses perfect-bound. Perfect-bound has an around 800-page limitation--2"-ish. Greater than that and the binding fails. At the least, he'd be looking at 3 volumes, more likely 4-5.

Alternatively, some other type of binding, but damn if I know what, for today's bookselling environment.

This is a work that needed a LOT MORE professional planning and advice than it received, is my take.
