A friend has got a college textbook which has a lot of superfluous pics for fancy text (especially chapter/section headings) which I was hoping could easily be trimmed, but still leave the caption/title as a guide to what it was - there's loads and a few are quite large filesize wise for what's actuall being displayed. In a browser it would be all well and good, but on a handheld reader is just silly.

I'll just run a search and replace and change the img tags to just display whatever is in the alt tag as a span with a class in which fontsize is doubled, then safely remove the images.

On my Sony any missing images are just ignored, and don't display anything, at least it doesn't crash.
