When this is one of your goals, you have to be willing to make sacrifices in basically every other area, especially fancy navigation and very particular image display. It doesn't mean it has to look ugly, and it doesn't mean absolute zero control over the design, but the range of what's acceptable has to be much, much wider. Gotta work with a light touch, no one's impressed by a busted ebook.

And I get it feels weird seeing an existing example you want to ape. My advice is don't worry about it. How it got there, how it was made to work, when, etc. etc. doesn't really matter. If it's really got a ton of whizbang, that's a book that's taking lots of risks, and this isn't an area that really rewards risk-taking.
