actually images are vital to the reading experience nowadays. consumers are used to web pages, and text-only pages compete against pages with graphics.
For me, I am working on a book of erotic short stories containing tasteful images. obviously the text is the most important part of the story, but the images provide an extra thing to focus on. The big advantage to ebooks over print books is the fact that illustrations don't add to the cost of the ebook.
that said, from what i read on mobileread these days, image support is improving, which is encouraging.
