Imagine getting a fantasy book that comes with a map and you cannot see the map all that well because the size is too small. That is one example. It really depends what you personally prefer. Some people don't want palm/cell sized images on their larger eink screens.

Actually, I did not overstate. I stated it just right. Once setup properly, it's a simple 2 step process to go from LIT to LRF to have DRM free ebooks. Mobipocket format is a throughback to the times when it was primarily for reading on smaller palm/cell phone sized screens and hence the issue with image sizes.
