OK, because as you suggest the "page image" approach to reading old books, say from IA or Google, kind of works if one has a tablet or other device which is similar in size and shape to the original book.
I think you misunderstood me. The point isn't that the "page image" approach is good. The point is that PG's treatment of images is so bad that even the "page image" approach is better. Scanned page images *shouldn't* be the best way to read books (unless they contain a lot of layout). If PG (and e-reader programs, for that matter) handled images decently they would not be. But they are.
