I'm moderately proud of the
ePub I slapped together in a few days, but even then, the extent of the layout/design doesn't go much beyond properly proportioned drop caps, some faked small caps for the chapter titles, and graphics that scale depending on the viewer's screen size (try adjust the window size in the desktop ADE to see what I mean). Hardly "cream of the crop", but among one of the nicer formatted ePubs I've seen, if I may humbly say so.
