Re: Image sizes

with a 2 Mbit (roughly what you get with 3G) connection that would take
about 1 min to download!

In my experience such large ebooks end up not downloading at all because the
download "breaks" before completing to an ebook reader.

I don't see the statistics on PG's site anymore, but what I remember is that
PG customers are overwhelmingly choosing to download the ebook versions
which do not have images at all.

I think you have a dichotomy here between "desktop" HTML readers, who have
fast machines, large displays, and fast downloads, and ebook EPUB/MOBI users
who may be in locations with "1X" flaky cellphone connections, or a flaky
airport lounge, slow machines, tiny displays, and slow and easily breakable
downloads.
