A small suggestion here… I am wondering if we might not suggest to Apple/Amazon/kindle et cetera, that the easiest way to make more accessible all of their books would be to label photos? so, if the page contains only a photograph, it should also have a caption saying what photo it is. in that way, not only would we have a better insight into the book, but we would also know that that page is a bona fide image.
