I have nothing to add to this discussion, but the subject interests me.
1)I'm curious about what the need is here. You said background image, are you talking about a watermark-type background image or some permanent graphic which appears in the same part of the page.
2)are you really testing both the landscape and portrait view? (You mention left-handed and right-handed page) If so, I am amazed.
3)do any of these ipad optimizations render on other platforms without messing things up? Maybe in 6-12 months ipad will have a bigger piece of the pie than today, but I have a hard time imagining that there won't be competing devices or readers for which these optimizations won't really matter.
