Older MOBI ebooks do have small embedded images, but recent ones are usually better (in part because they are following the Kindle version). However, it is still best to buy MS Reader (LIT) ebooks and convert them to MOBI.

The DR1000 Mobipocket reader was supposed to be much better than that on the iLiad, but from your description it is essentially unchanged. Can you at least view the cover page? For example, HarryT's Dickens, Charles: A Tale of Two Cities is in the recent MOBI format which has a separate cover image (attached from Windows MobiPocket Reader) that isn't in-lined in the HTML. It isn't viewable at all on the iLiad.
