Calibre <http://calibre-ebook.com/> is an open source ebook manager 
which can import various formats, including ODT, and convert to various 
formats, including EPUB. I haven't used it much; about the most I've 
done is convert a couple of CHM (Windows help) files to AZW3 to read on 
a Kindle, which seemed to work reasonably well. On the Kindle, images 
are scaled to fit on the page, but a press-and-hold allows them to be 
enlarged to full screen and zoomed in further to see detail. I don't 
know how well it does with complex documents, but may be worth trying.
