That's a start.

Indies can provide all that, too.
Speaking of hi-res... I do think we should get hi-res images of things like maps that at the half-asses sizes they give us, they are virtually unreadable. Then we get images of things that can be put in an ePub as text because the publishers are pandering to Amazon where they still use an obsolete format. A lot of the ePub we get are no better then a Mobipocket version because the publishers don't use any of the more advanced formatting where they should. They make the ePub look like the Mobipocket version and that's wrong.
