Help exporting EPUBs for OverDrive?

One of my clients is trying to get some books distributed on OverDrive. The contact there has made the following requests:

Cover art image and title page image is often cut off. To keep the cover, title page, and publication page images from being cut off in Adobe Digital Editions, change the EPUB package version number inside the .opf from "3.0" to "2.0" and change the image source style inside the cover.xhtml page from max-width to max-height.

Also, to keep 1.jpg and 2.jpg from showing up stacked on top of each other in the same page or cut off, depending on the user's chosen screen size, the images in the first few pages should be split up into separate .xhtml files

I assume changing from 3.0 to 2.01 in the EPUB export dialog box will take care of the first issue. But I have never touched an XHTML file in all my born days and therefore have no idea how to resolve the other issues. Help?

Thanks!

My $0.02 worth: Any service asking you save down to version 2 should be avoided.

Unfortunately, it's what they need for their service, and it's a valuable source for my client.

Since this is still unanswered, how about if I reword the question:

They've asked for three things:

  • change the EPUB package version number inside the .opf from "3.0" to "2.0" -- I assume switching from 3.0 to 2.01 in the export dialog box will take care of this.
  • to keep 1.jpg and 2.jpg from showing up stacked on top of each other in the same page or cut off, depending on the user's chosen screen size, the images in the first few pages should be split up into separate .xhtml files -- If I force a page break before each image, that should take care of this.
  • change the image source style inside the cover.xhtml page from max-width to max-height -- This is the one I can't answer: How can I control the size of the cover image when exporting an EPUB from ID?
