Hi Notjohn,
That's what I ended up doing, in fact - I put each illustration on a separate page and simply inserted them in Sigil. It seemed to work well, although I haven't yet purchased the book from iBooks or NOOK to make sure.

When I download others' picture books, their pictures don't seem to work so well. The pics bleed to next pages and then the pages don't really turn.
Just out of curiosity, what viewer(s) are you using? And are you viewing FF books, or...?

I've found one picture book that seems to work in whatever viewer I've stuck it into.

the author created pics: 1,000 x 1100. I've been told to keep pictures to a 4:3 ratio.
Well, that's fine for older Kindles and for the iPad. It's not right at all for the newer Amazon devices or the NookHD's.
