That would be great, but has a publisher ever actually done that?

It would also be nice for books with high resolution illustrations to have a web site with just the illustrations so people without tablets can view them on a computer. Even people with tablets could benefit from a large screen. Panning around, even if it is available is not the same.

For some books with decent enough color illustrations and long stretches of text, I have ended up reading with e-ink for the light weight and better for me text display and switching to a table to look at a pretty picture.
