That's the problem. You might not care for the pictures but as soon as they take them out people will complain that the pictures and special formatting are not there.

Also, formatting is much more a problem with the publisher than with Amazon. Publishers choose to format their books a certain way and they don't always jive with every kindle app or device.

So, what Amazon does is just not sell it to people for devices that won't display it the way the publisher formatted it. To me, this is ethical business as I wouldn't want to buy a book and find it to be completely jumbled garbage.
