I routinely have 30 or 40 sections, since I put every image in its own section, sometimes with a caption, sometimes not. The TOC is built from headings, not from sections. I use H2 for chapter heads, though I assume H1 would also work. Use the TOC "tool" to generate your virtual TOC for advanced e-readers. You can also generate an actual, html TOC with that tool.
100 images at 100KB is 10 MB according to my calculations, but then I didn't major in math. (100 x 100KB = 10,000KB = 10MB, or have I lost my mind?
This is my image style:
div.image {
text-align:center;
margin-bottom: 0.25em;
}
For almost all images, I include
width="100%" in the html pointer to the image, like this:
<div class="image" id="visitors"><img alt="something about the image" src="../Images/visitors600.jpg" width="100%"/></div>
Though that image was 600 pixels wide, I now go to 800 pixels if I can.
