Re:for the blind/visually impaired.... PG can't fix all the ebook reader issues, but, PG can put their own house in order. My understanding is that one is required to make web sites accessible. In the case of HTML books that PG puts up on their website, that means that alt-tags on images need to be there, and to be meaningful and useful. And that hacks such as initial caps -- when implemented in a way that breaks screen readers -- should not be permitted. Also, HTML books that implement some of its text as image-only should not be accepted. Text needs to be implemented AS text, and not as images.
