I've been saying the same thing basically. I downloaded a book from the library that has maps, charts, tables, etc. and they are all graphics and way too small for the computer screen or a 6" eink screen. I tried Photoshop to enlarge the graphics, but because of the poor quality, they came out too fuzzy when sized to maybe see. So one problem I see for the iLiad and the Gen3 are books in Mobipocket that need the graphics to be viewable properly. That means the books could be possibly useless. I do hope if anyone purchases such a book that the book is returnable.
