I was even able to grab image labels and comments for each.

That worked great for sports photos, but it isn't likely to be worthwhile for images of text.
It is perhaps possible to get first image but you will end up with non scalable image that will be unreadable on the device, unless you suggest we start using OCR. Where would that end? People just need to realize that there are things that are not possible with current version of calibre. If you do not like this you will just have to get the paper edition or read e-paper edition on your computer.
