Re: Images +a bit about translations

>"Converting" the submission using extra materials that you have on your
hard drive at home but which are not part of the submission is not what I
mean by converting it.

Again, you assume that when I submit a book I have these yummy high-rez
files just sitting there which somehow I am keeping you from having access
to.

In general, I do not have such high-rez files.

In some cases, but not in all cases, I could take the extra time and effort
to scan, process, clean, correct, compress, etc. a separate set of high-rez
image image files for submission.  I probably would be willing to do so,
when and if possible, if PG were to set up an intelligent way of actually
using those files.  Again, I would probably suggest that PG could make the
submission of HTML separate from the submission of EPUB files, and the HTML
could be high-rez for people who want to read HTML on big machines, and the
EPUB could then be appropriately sized-down in all regards including images
to make small machines happy -- and modern MOBI would flow more or less
directly from the EPUB submissions.  If the HTML were submitted separately
from the EPUB, rather than the current PG auto-gin approach, then it might
be worth the extra effort, because one could submit two high quality
not-compromised efforts, rather than having to submit one by-definition
compromised effort. [Or at least less-compromised efforts because again any
flavor of HTML including EPUB is less than ideal for doing "real" books.]
