I recently got some old PD books for use on my tablet. The books included some Jules Verne, some H. R. Haggard, and some Wizard of Oz books. My procedure for getting a book is this: 1) Go to archive.org. 2) Check to see which copies of the book have illustrations. If there are significant illustrations, download the book from there in .jp2 format and run it through a script to convert to .jpg. Then put the zip of .jpg files onto my tablet to read. 3) Only if the above step fails, do I get the book from PG. If the book is by Jules Verne, there's an additional step: check the list at http://jv.gilead.org.il/evans/VerneTrans%28biblio%29.html to see which version is a decent quality translation. It often isn't (and even the relatively good ones have some problems). (Given an October post here about Dracula, perhaps I should research versions of the book even when the book was originally in English.) This ties in to a number of posts on this list about bad translations, as well as to posts I made about images, which got lost from the archives (as well as signups during that time period--I had to sign up to this list again). Basically, for illustrations, illustrations on PG books are completely inadequate. What's worse is that the rules strongly suggest that an uploader use an image size and resolution that may have been sensible 10 years ago but is ludicrously small for a high resolution modern tablet, and doesn't show all the detail in the image. As a start I would suggest fixing the rules, but you'd also need some way to automatically generate a small-images version from a large images version (for those people who actually need small images, like over a slow phone connection at an airport, or who have an older reader with limited capabilities). Big images can be used to make small images, but you can't go the other way around. (What is the practical limit on epub image size?) Previous messages about needing better bibliographical information apply to images too, especially since images are very often changed in later editions of the same book.
