Print or screen: pick one.
If you want something to print beautifully, you take the time to put the figures and pictures exactly where you think they fit. If you want something to be read with arbitrary text sizes, you hope they'll show up somewhere near the relevant text. Treating a book as an ebook, or vice versa, will always be a compromise.

For reference books with a lot of photos and diagrams, I still prefer print to whatever would result from a "reactive" layout reacting to my current screen and font size. Maybe they could be rewritten as interactive "apps," but that's a lot more work, opening a whole new can of worms.
